Contemplative Therapy for Clients on the Autism Spectrum: A Reflective Integration Therapy Manual for Psychotherapists and Counsellors

Drawing on the ancient tradition of contemplation, Reflective Integration Therapy shows how mantra meditation and reflective therapy can be used with clients with high functioning autism.

The Reflective Integration Therapy programme uses the cognitive differences in those with autism, such as their innate capacity for silence, withdrawal, intense focus and repetition as sources of therapeutic healing. This manual introduces this fresh, unique therapeutic approach, creating an essential resource for all practitioners working in the field of autism. All the material for twelve weekly sessions of therapy is included within the book.
