However, from a stress-buffering perspective, mindfulness techniques would be expected to unfold their beneficial effects particularly in those who are currently suffering from symptoms. This study investigated whether a brief and targeted mindfulness-based intervention can...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental disorder, which results in seriously impaired condition in the patients and great global disability burden. In light of its quite diverse etiologies, comorbidity with many other diseases, and complex underlying pathology, it has been a great challenge to understand the physiological basis of MDD, which may be a complex of related diseases,...

Mental and physical (MAP) training is a novel clinical intervention that combines mental training through meditation and physical training through aerobic exercise. The intervention was translated from neuroscientific studies indicating that MAP training increases neurogenesis in the adult brain. Each session consisted of 30 min of focused-attention (FA) meditation and 30 min of...

Increasing data suggest that for medical school students the stress of academic and psychologicaldemands can impair social emotions that are a core aspect of compassion and ultimately physiciancompetence. Few interventions have proven successful for enhancing physician compassion inways that persist in the face of suffering and that enable sustained caretaker well-being. To addressthis issue,...

In many patients, depression takes a recurrent or chronic course in which maintaining mechanisms become increasingly engrained, and repeated stress translates into significant changes in biological functioning. The introduction of mindfulness training has brought a paradigmatically new approach to the treatment of persistent courses of depression that promises to counter such mechanisms and...

Abstract Background: Negative self-referential processing has fruitfully been studied in unipolar depressed patients, but remarkably less in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). This study examines the relation between task-based self-referential processing and depressive symptoms in BD and their possible importance to the working mechanism of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for...
