Das MBCT-Arbeitsbuch

If you have ever been deeply unhappy with your life for a shorter or longer period of time, or still are, you know how difficult it can be to do something about it. No matter how hard you try, it just doesn’t get better – at least not in the long run. The eight-week MBCT program (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) has been specifically designed to help people learn to cope with persistent unwanted inner states and moods. MBCT has been scientifically studied and proven to be an effective method for depression, anxiety, and a whole range of other mental health issues in clinical trials worldwide. This practical workbook guides you step by step through the MBCT program in a very clear manner. You can use it as part of a group seminar, individual therapy, or as a self-help guide.
