“…25 One pair of facilitators was selected to provide the intervention at each site. The training program comprised multiple components including development of personal meditation practice, professional training, and a practice trial with "healthy" participants (eg, family, friends, colleagues).…”

“…In terms of facilitator, three studies used two facilitators per group [43,46,48] and three studies reported using one facilitator [42,44,51]. Bédard et al [43] specifically trained the facilitators to teach MBCT to the participants with cognitive impairment (see training details of the facilitators in [56]).…”

Introduction: Non-pharmacological interventions that promote quality of life in people with dementia are urgently needed. To accelerate development, evidencebased psychotherapies used in other populations can be considered. Mindfulnessbased interventions with standardised protocols, namely mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), may be effective in people with dementia, although tailoring for cognitive impairment may be needed. Evidence from other cognitive disorders can inform research. Areas covered: The authors reviewed 12 studies of MBCT or MBSR conducted in people with cognitive impairments, including ten in stroke, traumatic brain injury, and mild cognitive impairment; and two in dementia. Protocol modifications, outcomes, and evidence quality were analysed. Common themes to address cognitive difficulties included: shortened session duration, use of memory aids, increase in repetition, simplified language, and omitted retreat sessions. Expert opinion: MBCT and MBSR can be applied without drastic modifications in people with cognitive impairment. Their effectiveness in people with dementia remains unknown: empirical studies using/adapting evidence based MBCT/MBSR protocols in this population is seriously lacking. Studies used a diverse range of outcome measures, which made direct comparison difficult. Further research with high methodological quality, sufficient power and longer follow-up are urgently needed. Development of manuals would enhance the replicability of future studies.

“…Gibbons et al examined and described their own training program, which they developed to address the unique needs of MBCT facilitators. 35 Ten facilitators with little-to-no mindfulness-meditation experience participated in the training that included a 2-day retreat, a 4-month period devoted to cultivating a mindfulness practice, and a 5-day MBCT-training program. Following training, the facilitator participants led trial groups with healthy volunteers, and their performance was assessed by both the volunteers and external reviewers.…”

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) was developed as a psychological intervention for individuals at risk of depressive relapse. Possible mechanisms of change for this intervention are in line with its theoretical underpinnings, and include increases in mindfulness and/or decreases in negative repetitive thoughts. This review provides an overview of current trends in MBCT research, including efficacy and questions regarding the specific effects of MBCT in light of recent comparisons with structurally equivalent control conditions, mechanisms of change, and moderators of treatment outcome. In addition, future directions are discussed, such as challenges with training an adequate number of therapists and disseminating this therapy.
