Abstract
Currently, there is a growing interest in exploring the underlying processes that explain how and why therapeutic approaches work. This study aims to investigate whether Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) can enhance direct experience compared to a control intervention. 72 women diagnosed with eating disorders were assigned to either MBCT or a control treatment. Pre- and post-intervention, participants were asked to eat an orange slice and write down thoughts about the eating experience, classifying the focus of each experience as either experiential or analytical. Compared with the control group, participants who underwent MBCT showed a statistically significant increase in direct experience.
期刊介绍：
The European journal of psychiatry is a quarterly publication founded in 1986 and directed by Professor Seva until his death in 2004. It was originally intended to report “the scientific activity of European psychiatrists” and “to bring about a greater degree of communication” among them. However, “since scientific knowledge has no geographical or cultural boundaries, is open to contributions from all over the world”. These principles are maintained in the new stage of the journal, now expanded with the help of an American editor.
