Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy For Depression by Eric Segal

A New Approach to Preventing Relapse

An eight-week, group-based program that combines mindfulness meditation practices with cognitive therapy strategies to help people with recurrent depression recognize and disengage from habitual negative thinking and rumination, cultivate present-moment awareness and acceptance, and respond to early warning signs in ways that reduce the risk of relapse; the book explains the course structure and practices (body scan, mindful movement, sitting meditation), provides clinical examples and exercises, and presents evidence that this approach—when taught as a relapse-prevention intervention—can lower rates of depressive relapse and improve coping with negative moods.
