Achtsamkeitsbasierte kognitive Therapie (MBCT) für Patienten mit Zwangsstörung – Eine Adaptation des Originalkonzepts

Abstract

Mindfulness-based cognitive Therapy (MBCT) has shown to be effective in the relapse prevention and treatment of several psychiatric disorders. However, MBCT has not yet been applied in OCD (Obsessive-compulsive Disorder). This article proposes an adaptation of the eight-session group program for patients with residual symptoms after cognitive behavioural treatment (CBT) with exposure. It has proven feasible and was considered helpful by patients within the framework of a pilot study 1. Apart from an overview of the modified manual, OCD-specific elements are presented in detail and illustrated on the base of work sheets. The manual indicates that MBCT could be a useful supplement to CBT and is well applicable to the therapeutic needs of patients with OCD.

“…A new study reported the beneficial effects of MBCT in OCD, depression and anxiety symptoms as well as obsessive beliefs through improving mindfulness skills and self-compassion in the experimental group vs. controls (18). In addition, other third wave treatment approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction are also reported as beneficial in relapsed OCD symptoms (14,(19)(20)(21).…”
