Understanding the Impact of Meditative Homework on Metacognitive Processes in the Context of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Exclusion Criteria

• •These authors suggest that MBCT has no significant effect on reducing the relapse rates of depression in patients with ≤ 2 episodes of depression.
• •Therefore the present study will use participants who have experienced more than three episodes of depression as judged by the relevant NHS Trust.
• •No restrictions are placed in terms of participants' use of antidepressant medication.
• •Potential participants engaging in yoga or Buddhist meditation more than twice a week are excluded as these practices significantly overlap with the MBCT program.
