Summary

Objective: "Decentering" is defined as the ability to observe one's thoughts and feelings as temporary, objective events in the mind, and is increasingly regarded as a candidate mechanism in mindfulness-based interventions. The current study sought to examine the role of decentering, and other related variables, in the efficacy of Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) as compared to two active comparison conditions.

Method: Formerly depressed individuals (N = 227), randomly assigned to MBCT (n = 74), relaxation group therapy (RGT; n = 77) or treatment-as-usual (TAU; n = 76), completed self-report measures of decentering and symptoms of depression at pre-, mid-, and post-treatment, and relapse was assessed at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, post-treatment.
