I have known Rebecca Crane for many years and admire her greatly for her important work on the integrity of mindfulness based interventions and the competency of the teachers offering it. Rebecca herself is one of the most competent mindfulness teachers I know, with her warm and non-judgmental attitude combined with a very practical and thorough approach. It is a privilege to be able to delve into and particularly <i>use</i> this second edition of her handbook during our own teaching. After all, not only our clients but also we as teachers should never stop learning and developing!' - <strong>Anne Speckens</strong>, Professor of Psychiatry, Radboud Centre for Mindfulness, Department of Psychiatry, Radboud University Medical Centre, Nijmegen, the Netherlands</p>
