For Week 3 of this class I was fortunate enough to find the eBook titled Therapist's Guide to Evidence-based Relapse Prevention. I was only able to find this book after reading the text and understanding the instructions of the assignment to efficiently find books using the Library search terms and limiting my search results only to what I need. I knew there would be evidence (clinical trials in particular) that speak to my research question, but this is the first publication I’ve found that contains a wealth of said information. I’m relieved in a way to have found it, and what’s more is the entire eBook is available through Chapman’s library. I was able to read part of the text by having this access and it is there I found clinical trials that speak positively about the usefulness of MBCT (Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy) in a modern therapy setting. If time were to allow, I could even go so far as to read enough of the book to understand the impact of MBCT on topics not pertaining to Depression, which, I’d imagine would give me a better understanding of the mechanics (neuroplasticity, cognitive therapeutic retraining, etc.) thereof. I was also pleased to have found that this eBook “scored well” against the CRAAP criteria used to research topics. I saved this title and plan to refer to it in the future as this section of the trimester comes to a close.

I could not have found this title without the Badke readings and instruction set forth by the professor, Mr. Clutter. Fortunately, and for that reason, I had little trouble finding the title and examining its contents for pertinence to my research question. I’m quite certain that this title will come in to good use later on.
