| Key findings | The authors state that evidence supports mindfulness-based approaches, including MBCT, MBSR, DBT, and ACT, in alleviating depressive symptoms, and that MBCT is increasingly recommended in guidelines to prevent recurrence in recurrent depressive disorders. They propose that mindfulness may also improve the therapeutic relationship and that positive awareness of internal experiences can help patients and therapists overcome depressive disorders. |
Abstract
Recently, the importance of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in the treatment of depression is gradually emerging. Particularly, mindfulness meditation has various approaches related to dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and evidence has been provided that they alleviate depressive symptoms. In particular, as MBCT increases the level of evidence in the treatment of repetitive depressive disorders, guidelines are being recommended to prevent recurrence. Mindfulness may also contribute to improving the patient's symptoms as well as improving the therapeutic relationship with the therapist. For both mindful patients and therapists, positive awareness of internal experiences can be a good way to enrich the mind and overcome depressive disorders.
