Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Theory and Practice
Overview
This paper outlines Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) as an eight-session group program combining cognitive-behavioral therapy with mindfulness-based stress reduction, primarily aimed at preventing relapse in recurrent depression. It describes the therapeutic focus on changing one's relationship to thoughts and feelings rather than challenging specific cognitions, alongside potential neuroimaging mechanisms involving emotional regulation. The authors review evidence from randomized controlled trials supporting MBCT for depression and preliminary findings for anxiety and bipolar disorders, noting that patient and clinician resources are included.
