Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy for Depression and Anxiety

Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy for Depression and Anxiety

MBCT in practice

• getting to know MBCT and applying it
• practice-based introduction


MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) is an 8-week mindfulness training course designed to help people with depression and anxiety cope better with difficult moods and periods of brooding. In addition to mindfulness training, MBCT includes some psycho educational and cognitive elements from behavioural therapy. These are especially related to coping with self-debilitating thoughts. In this way, patients gain more distance from their own thoughts and feelings.

Ulrike Juchmann is an MBCT trainer and provides a comprehensive insight into how this training is developed and applied. She describes the structure of the course and how MBCT functions using many practical examples; she explains the central importance of body awareness within the training and emphasises the importance of practising on a regular basis. For this purpose, illustrated exercises and audio exercises are available for download.

For use in individual and group settings.
