Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for depression
Abstract
In this chapter I will describe how Mark Williams, Zindel Segal, and I developed a novel, theory-driven, psychological intervention to reduce relapse in recurrent major depression. The intervention, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) incorporates, as a central component, mindfulness training. We drew heavily on the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and his colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center (Kabat-Zinn 1990). MBSR incorporates aspects of traditional Buddhist mindfulness meditation practices (e.g. Nyanoponika Thera 1962) into a highly structured eight-week program. The MBSR program was designed to be accessible to patients in a general hospital setting who had no previous interest or experience in meditation, and who were suffering a range of medical disorders.

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.
