ABSTRACT

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), first developed by Segal, Williams, and Teasdale (2013), is an 8-week, evidence-based program that integrates training in mindfulness skills with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques for working with stress, anxiety, depression, and other problems. Mindfulness, or awareness of present-moment experience, is developed through exercises designed to strengthen attentional capacity.
