Duke University Cognitive Behavioral Research and Treatment Program is offering a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) group. MBCT is an empirically validated intervention that was developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale, based on Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program. MBCT was developed in order to facilitate recovery from depression and prevent future depressive relapses, based on an integration of cognitive behavioral principles and Eastern mindfulness practices. It is an 8-week program in which participants gather in a group setting to learn cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises designed to increase nonjudgmental, moment-to-moment awareness of bodily sensations, thoughts, and emotions. Participants use mindfulness to cultivate a new way of relating to internal and situational experiences using curiosity, acceptance, and compassion.
