Jeg hedder Rufus. Jeg er en hund. Men jeg er hverken en lang hun, en pjusket hund eller en stor hund. Hvilken slags hund er jeg mon? En sød fortælling om en lille hund, der prøver at finde sin plads. Han er slet ikke, som alle de andre hunde. Men for en bestemt dreng er Rufus noget ganske særligt. En bog om identitet og venskab til alle hundeglade børn fra 3 år og op.

This book is about using a unique mindfulness-based approach to supervision that is both framework and practice driven. The Mindfulness-Based Supervision (MBS) framework is based on a weaving metaphor of ‘the warp and the weft’. The warp is consistent and consists of four key threads: the mindful container; the mutual relational inquiry; the use of pauses and space; and the mindfulness-based theoretical and pedagogical background. The weft is the threads that are woven through the warp and have different colours and textures depending on what is being created. The MBS approach can be applied in a range of ways, within different contexts and settings, to supervisees with different developmental needs and using a variety of teaching approaches. The book also looks at how mindfulness-based practitioners can apply this approach in other areas of their work, including supervision in areas such as psychotherapy and education.

This is the story of a small dog named Barkley who is having a bit of an identity crisis. Barkley sees all the dogs around him, and they each have something that makes them unique--big dogs, fluffy dogs, long dogs, fierce dogs. But what kind of dog is Barkley? Just imagine his surprise when he discovers he's a LOST dog. Luckily, his owner Max helps him realize he's more than just that: he's a best friend dog, and that makes him a happy dog, too. And you can't ask for much more than that.

A simple ode to happiness and self-confidence, as told through the voice of a lovable dog named Barkley. What kind of dog is Barkley? He's not as big as Newfoundlands, or as fluffy as Pomeranians. And he's definitely not as long as greyhounds. Maybe, Barkley thinks, he is just a nothing dog... Overwhelmed by a crisis of finding his identity and trying to work out what makes him special, Barkley finds himself a lost dog, very far away from a little boy called Max – who loves him very much just the way he is! Maybe being somebody's best friend dog is actually the very best thing he could be.

Grounded in extensive research and clinical experience, this book describes how to adapt mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for participants who struggle with recurrent suicidal thoughts and impulses. Clinicians and mindfulness teachers are presented with a comprehensive framework for understanding suicidality and its underlying vulnerabilities. The preliminary intake interview and each of the eight group mindfulness sessions of MBCT are discussed in detail, highlighting issues that need to be taken into account with highly vulnerable people. Assessment guidelines are provided and strategies for safely teaching core mindfulness practices are illustrated with extensive case examples. The book also discusses how to develop the required mindfulness teacher skills and competencies. Purchasers get access to a companion website featuring downloadable audio recordings of the guided mindfulness practices, narrated by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. (Published in hardcover as Mindfulness and the Transformation of Despair: Working with People at Risk of Suicide.)
