Teaching Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to students: The effects of MBCT on the levels of Mindfulness and Subjective Well-Being

Mindfulness as a way of addressing the deficits in clinical psychology training programmes: A review

“…Some studies did not find significantly improved outcomes in domains such as stress, anxiety, depression, satisfaction in life, and positive affect (Rimes & Wingrove, 2011;Moore, 2008;Collard et al, 2008). Researchers proposed that the possible reasons for this were sampling and measurement issues (Rimes & Wingrove, 2011;Moore, 2008;Collard et al, 2008). This suggested that it has been difficult for research to accurately ascertain the effectiveness of mindfulness for this population.…”

“…Some of the studies were also mixed method in nature, where qualitative responses were collected from the participants (Stafford- Rimes & Wingrove, 2011, Moore, 2008. The studies show that trainees who participate in mindfulness training experience many increases in positive outcomes related to self-care (Shapiro, Brown, & Biegel, 2007;Rimes & Wingrove, 2011, Moore, 2008Collard, Avny, & Boniwell, 2008) and stronger therapeutic alliance (Stafford- . Some studies did not find significantly improved outcomes in domains such as stress, anxiety, depression, satisfaction in life, and positive affect (Rimes & Wingrove, 2011;Moore, 2008;Collard et al, 2008).…”

Incorporación del mindfulness en el aula: un estudio piloto con estudiantes universitarios

“…Este resultado va en la misma línea de Dvoráková et al (2017), que mostraron cómo el grupo de intervención aumentó su satisfacción vital en relación al grupo control. Sin embargo, ni Shapiro et al (2011) aplicando el MBSR, ni Collard et al (2008) el MBCT hallaron un mayor nivel de satisfacción vital tras el programa de intervención. Estos datos sugieren que un programa breve puede aumentar el nivel de satisfacción vital en la misma medida que otros de mayor duración, resultado que necesita más investigaciones para ser corroborado.…”

How similar are the changes in neural activity resulting from mindfulness practice in contrast to spiritual practice?

“…Perhaps unsurprisingly given the cognitive and mental health benefits associated with mindfulness, EEG, even-related potential (ERP), PET, MRI and fMRI technologies have uncovered a number of short and long term mechanistic neural changes that result from mindfulness meditation (Aftanas & Golocheikine, 2003;Lutz, Greischar, Rawlings, Ricard, & Davidson, 2004). Research efforts are now being made to uncover how the neurological effects of mindfulness meditation are correlated with subjective experience (Brown & Cordon, 2009;Collard, Avny, & Boniwell, 2008). Mindfulness research has often utilised participants from a traditional background of training, and hence research being reviewed in this article will include both modern and traditional frameworks of mindfulness.…”
