  • 소개/요약This study was a preliminary effort at examining the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in patients with depression. A single case design with pre and post assessments was adopted. The sample consisted of five patients with depression. They were assessed on measures of depression, dysfunctional cognitions, quality of life (QoL) and work and social adjustment. The intervention included eight weekly sessions of mindfulness meditation and cognitive restructuring. The percentage of clinically significant change from pre to post-therapy was calculated. Four patients completed therapy. Three patients showed clinically significant improvement on depression, work and social adjustment and QoL. Changes in dysfunctional beliefs were not significant, suggesting that beliefs take a longer time and more sessions to change. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be an effective treatment for recurrent depression, and it can be also helpful in addressing factors that maintain depressive symptoms.
