Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Preventing Future Episodes of Depression

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), developed by Dr. Zindel V. Segal, Dr. Mark G. Williams, and Dr. John D. Teasdale, has been found to decrease recurrent episodes of depression. Based upon multiple clinical trials,  MBCT reduces relapse in individuals with three or more episodes of depression by 43%, when compared to alternative therapeutic interventions.
