What is it about?
Mindfulness is considered a core component of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. This chapter shows how mindfulness is taught to clients with behavioural problems, and contains some really practical advice - how long practices should be, how to pull out teaching points, how to coach mindfulness skills when the client is in their every-day environment.

Why is it important?
There are so many ways to practice mindfulness, and this chapter is important because it addresses the specifics of using mindfulness with patients who have quite severe behavioural problems.
Perspectives
As clinicians ourselves, when we wrote this chapter we had in mind other professionals who would be using this material on a daily basis, so we tried to make this practical and accessible.
