  • Abstract:
  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) offers a promising paradigm for addressing the depression and anxiety of human life in our contemporary society. This article synthesizes the theoretical underpinnings, practical applications, and empirical evidence supporting MBCT as an effective intervention. Grounded in mindfulness practices and cognitive behavioral therapy principles, MBCT equips individuals with skills to cultivate present-moment awareness, disrupt rumination, and reframe maladaptive thought patterns. Drawing from research across clinical psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions, this paper elucidates the mechanisms through which MBCT fosters psychological well-being. Key components such as mindfulness meditation, body scanning, and cognitive restructuring are explored, highlighting their synergistic effects in alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety. Furthermore, the integrative nature of MBCT is underscored, emphasizing its capacity to address underlying psychological, emotional, and somatic dimensions of distress.
