Research studies have proven its effectiveness, and there is growing evidence that it is also helpful for those in the midst of a period of depression or who struggle with anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>MBCT integrates principles of cognitive therapy into an eight week program with many similarities to MBSR.

Zindel Segal from the University of Toronto, Mark Williams from Oxford University, and John Teasdale of the Medical Research Council in Cambridge, England, in conjunction with John Kabat-Zinn and others from the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts.
