Kognitivni terapijski pristup zasnovan na punoj svjesnosti (mindfulness) u tretmanu depresivnih poremećaja
Mindfulness based cognitive therapy for depression

Summary/Abstract: Depression is now considered one of the most widespread mental disorders in the world. Epidemiological studies show a worrying trend of an increase in its prevalence, as well as a relatively high rate of relapse, especially in the cases of primarily drug treatment of depressive episodes.Although it is based on a cognitive model of depression, which, in explaining the mechanisms underlying depression, emphasizes the importance of the presence of dysfunctional attitudes and beliefs that individual has about himself, the world around him, and the future, as well as the ruminative reactive attitude, the focus of a mindfulness based cognitive therapy is not on changing the content of those beliefs, but on the development of metacognitive consciousness and the modification of metacognitive processes that maintain dysfunctional reactive and ruminative mental states.The paper will present a program of mindfulness based cognitive therapy, together with the cognitive and meditation techniques used within it.The results of modern research on the efficacy of mindfulness based cognitive therapy, will be presented, as well as the research results on prevention of relapse and the treatment of ''active'' depression, and comparison with the effectiveness of applying medication treatment and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy.Within the framework of the paper, the perspectives of the application of mindfulness techniques and meditation practices in the treatment of other psychological disorders will be presented as well.
