Abstract

Objectives: Mindfulness‐based treatments have demonstrated efficacy in reducing symptoms in clinical populations. Not surprisingly, research suggests increases in client mindfulness might be a mechanism of change in these treatments. However, little is known about specific factors that lead to increased mindfulness. Design: The present study is a secondary analysis of 93 adults in outpatient treatment for substance abuse, assessing effects of between‐session mindfulness practice and therapeutic alliance on levels of mindfulness after an 8‐week Mindfulness‐Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) program. Results: Between‐session practice over the course of the 8 weeks was predictive of mindfulness at postcourse, although not at the 2‐month or 4‐month follow‐up assessments. Client‐rated therapeutic alliance was a significant predictor at the 2‐month follow‐up, although not at 4 months. Conclusions: These findings suggest that between‐session practice and therapeutic alliance might be important factors in the initial increases in mindfulness after mindfulness‐based treatments, but factors supporting longer term mindfulness might shift over time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
