Group and Individual Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Are Both Effective: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial in Depressed People with a Somatic Disease

Abstract: Depressive symptoms are commonly reported by individuals suffering from a chronic medical condition. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has been shown to be an effective psychological intervention for reducing depressive symptoms in a range of populations. MBCT is traditionally given in a group format. The aim of the current pilot RCT was to examine the effects of group-based MBCT and individually based MBCT for reducing depressive symptoms in adults suffering from one or more somatic diseases.

“…Research has largely supported this notion, and shown that these processes are central components and active ingredients of MBCT. Following MBCT training, participants exhibit improved self-reported mindfulness (4350), reduced rumination (43, 4548, 5153) and worry (43, 47, 53), improved meta-awareness (52, 54, 55), increased self-compassion (56, 57), and reduced emotional reactivity (58). Moreover, these improvements at least partially mediated or predicted the effect of MBCT on treatment outcome (see 5961 for reviews), with the strongest effects found for mindfulness, rumination, worry, and emotional reactivity.…”

“…There are a small number of MBP trial designs that explicitly set out to compare an individual-to a group-delivered MBP, with similarly mixed results. For example, Schroevers et al (2016) found that individual-and group-delivered MBCT are equally effective for people with depression and somatic disease. In contrast, Mantzios and Giannou (2014) compared an individual-vs. group-delivered MBP for weight reduction and found that weight loss benefits were significantly better for participants who received the group-delivered format.…”

“…First studies demonstrate the positive effects of mindfulness on therapeutic alliance in cross‐sectional designs (Dunn, Callahan, Swift, & Ivanovic, ; Horst et al, ), but lack evidence on symptomatic outcome in longitudinal designs (Goyal et al, ). A pilot study comparing MBCT in group and individual therapy showed significant symptom improvement in individual MBCT that was equally strong as in group MBCT (Schroevers, Tovote, Snippe, & Fleer, ). However, this study investigated the effects of the whole MBCT package and did not directly target the mindfulness exercise component (Britton et al, ).…”

“…Whereas the focus of MBIs is to observe moment-to-moment experiences as they are (Williams et al, 2014), the objective of PMR is to increase sensations of physical relaxation (Gao, Curtiss, Liu, & Hofmann, 2017). Of additional importance, MBIs and PMR have been applied in multiweek clinical interventions, but they can also be used as stand-alone interventions that can be incorporated into single therapy sessions (Schroevers et al, 2016;Semple, 2010).…”
