This is the core text for anyone interested in MBCT, but is specifically aimed at clinicians and psychologists wishing to teach the programme. It includes comprehensive coverage of the development and rationale for MBCT, a detailed account of the structure and content of the programme, with examples of inquiry, and access to audio recordings of the meditations. If you’re just looking to explore MBCT for yourself, this is probably more than you need. The text was re-written with Jon Kabat-Zinn for a broader readership and published as The Mindful Way Through Depression (2007). MBCT has been shown to significantly reduce the rate of depression in people with a history of major depressive episodes.
