Abstract
Mindfulness is the art of being fully present in what we are doing, without judgement and without expectation. A therapeutic education programme was created in the 1990s in order to combat depression and generalised anxiety disorder. In France, this programme will be used in psychiatry. Meditation and psychoeducation will enable patients with depression to gradually establish a detachment with regard to the psychological and emotional content.
