Description: Niemiec, a psychologist and teacher at Xavier U. who is associated with a nonprofit positive psychology organization, demonstrates to psychologists, educators, coaches, consultants, business professionals, and researchers the synthesis of mindfulness and character strengths into mindfulness-based strengths practice. He provides primers on the two areas, their core concepts, related ideas, research, and practices, then details their integration and the research on correlations and consequences of mindfulness and each of the 24 character strengths. He considers two ways to integrate them (by bringing character strengths to mindfulness and bringing mindfulness to character strengths), followed by a program consisting of eight sessions. He describes how to run the sessions, their elements, how to lead mindfulness exercises, core processes in sessions, and how to manage challenges. The final chapter explains how to adapt mindfulness-based strengths practice with specific populations and settings. Outlines, handouts, scripts, exercises, debriefing strategies, case examples, and practices are included, and the CD contains audio exercises.
