It is good to hear you find the approach we are developing here relevant. We are offering these as a free resource - the request for attribution is primarily to lead people back to the source pages so that updates etc. can be accessed. Clearly if professionals want to use this approach with clients then each professional has to make a decision as to whether that is safe and ethical without specific training. In this respect the resources here are like many other self-help type resources that a professional has to judge whether it is appropriate to integrate into their work. We are planning to take the approach through pilot studies next academic year but it is important to note that these approaches do not yet have an established evidence base. This may also have a bearing for some professionals working practices. We will be offering training in this - but are still working on dates etc. and due to other commitments it will probably be October when the first training weekend is available. We expect this to be a 2 day training for professionals with a professional body and/or work to a code of ethics. Person experience of using these approaches will be a key preparation prior to the training workshop. Regards Tim Duerden Hi Ann

To clarify can I use this information with clients if I acknowledge the source. I am interested in your mindfulness based training but would alos be intersted in training about friendly focus as well, what are your plans for this year Thank You in truth it seems to be what I have been waiting for before I embark on more formal training A I like this a lot some of the demands of mindfulness by other practitioners have been troubling me a little.
