Microaggressions and Traumatic Stress: Theory, Research, and Clinical Treatment (Concise Guides on Trauma Care)

Challenging current definitions of trauma, Kevin L. Nadal distills the latest research on the effects of microaggressions, looking at how regular exposure to subtle discrimination can, over time, elicit similar symptoms to severe trauma.  
 
Previous research on trauma has suggested that it results from experiencing or witnessing actual or threatened death, or serious injury, but this view has been expanding in recent years. New research has focused on the relationship between pers

    We all have resources within ourselves to enchance the lives we live. In participating in a 8 week MBSR program developed by Jon Kabbat-Zinn, you will have the opportunity to discover your own gifts, to befriend who you already are and to strengthen the skills needed to show up to life, with its ups and downs. This book is a guidance, compass and a support both for participants, trainers and for anyone else who wants to explore mindfulness. The book is written in a clear, skillful and comprehensive way by two longtime experienced teachers and teacher trainers. Part two in the book gives a map over the 8 week MBSR curriculum, session by session, rich with examples from both participants and the authors as teachers. Most importantly of all, it is written with an undertone of care and compassion, which I believe is the main message of mindfulness. I highly recommend this new book and it will be a great support in your exploration of mindfulness!

    Reading this book is, I suspect, very much like being in an MBSR class with Linda. Her warmth, caring, wisdom, and depth are clear. She has long experience, and I found her teachings to be fresh and refreshing. As an MBSR teacher myself, I recommend this book to anyone curious about mindfulness or meditation, to anyone taking or considering an MBSR class, and definitely to other MBSR or mindfulness teachers.

    As a researcher and teacher in the area of mindfulness-based wellness, I found this book to be refreshingly well-organized, clear, concise, and comprehensive. With detailed descriptions of the necessary practices, along with narratives from student experiences, the authors do an excellent job of capturing the essence of this transformative program using an inspiring yet accessible approach. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to further their practice and understanding of MBSR, whether you are a beginner or experienced practitioner, or are simply interested in MBSR for informational or scholastic purposes.
