Please upload more talks like this. This Dr is the actual PI (principal investigator) on the study he's talking about. He explains so much, very clearly. More studies need to be done in this area. Protocols and assessments need to be developed and refined until there's a defined treatment regimen that will help the millions suffering

This is a very good video. I am a therapist, and I encourage exercises from MBCT outside of the therapy room, and use Focusing-oriented Therapy ( not CBT) in the therapy room. I have also adapted Mindfulness for addictions, anxiety, anger management. MBCT and FOT offer a brilliant combination.
Just another thought. MBCT IS good for treating depression directly. It is brilliant ! And its better than Conventional CBT, which tends to activate over-ride where as experiential therapies ( MBCT, FOT, Somatic Experiencing,Senorimotor) activate the process systems. Also MBCT/ FOT works for OCD, you dont need RCT trails to know it works.
Dr. Eisendrath,
This video was incredibly helpful. Thank you.
At 42.10 if the video, his slide contradicts what he says about equivalence of MBCT and ADm. Relapse with MBCT was 47%, as compared to 60% for anti-depressants. That is not equivalent, there is a 13% superiority of MBCT. Also MBCT lead to quality of life improvements. MBCT is better according to his slide.
A key presentation, both professionally and personally – thank you. In particular in bringing MBCT into the active phase of depression, rather than as preventive strategy once the acutely painful stage has passed, as recommended by some texts.
There is no proof that backs this. It if was that simple as bringing your awareness to the present, no one would have mental issues. The problem is that people can not change their thoughts, this is proven the same way that people who hear voices can't simply tell themselves to stop hearing voices. It's so easy for someone who doesn't have this problem to say "oh this must work, since a Doctor says so" again that Doctor hasn't experienced it either! People need to wake up. Study that proves CBT doesn't work for people with real issues—> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19476688
What a simpleton this guy , and all the people that believe this crap, siighhh.
Don't listen to Lou Lois. He doesn't have any experience in mindfulness. While cbt might not work on it's own (I don't know), mindfulness works, it just takes a dedicated schedule. You probably need to work with someone. It is proven scientifically more so than anything out there.
a brilliant and insightful lecture thank you x
I’m sure Aaron Beck will approve of this direction of evidence based practice, though as he would point out, this learning goes back many thousands of years.
An issue you will have as these techniques get more and more effective are those people – including my former self – who become scared of having our ‘stories’ taken away. Therefore – as Leon Festinger observed in ‘When Prophecy Fails’ the closer you get, more resistance you will get. – Best of luck.
Mindfulness therapy helps you change the underlying cause of anxiety and panic attacks.
Honestly, the hocus pocus beggars belief………
The only way to gain physical strength is : weight lifting.
The only way to gain mental strength is : mindful meditation
Dear University of California Television (UCTV) :), I would like to say, thank you, to you, for taking the time, energy and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube community. Thank You!
I've been depressed/anxious for most of my life and my experience doesn't centre around memories of bad past events and fears about my future, the way I feel in the present moment has been dominated by oversensitivity to physical discomforts of various kinds that years of practising mindfulness has not enabled me to accept.
Meditation for memory. Do you miss the most important things in your life? I did and besides other people made up the truth about what I forgot so there must be no memory. I want to be married to my past for the sake of my future and peace of mind. I want my life back. I don't want to be irresponsible. Does it ever matter what a person wants out of life? I need feedback from my past but there is no conversation. Maybe we lie or misrepresent or are too mad at me or something.
Western scholars who labelled themselves as experts on mindfulness should give a big credit and show gratitude to the Buddha. After all, he discovered it and taught it throughout his life. Truth is he taught at least 40 ways of meditation which can help humankind cope with their inner and outer world better. We can choose whatever way which suits us best. Study Buddhism more you will know more on how to live your life happier and you don't even have to convert to it.
Of course they don't do the treatments that are not medicinal first — they always say non-medicinal treatments are only if nothing else works. Why?
Meanwhile, all these systems were thoroughly developed well over two centuries ago in the Hindu cultures. Now these guys have their little machines and their little studies and their incredibly lame "examples" like I closed the elevator door on someone.
Just let your thought go — you know the mortgage payment, the cancer treatments, the kids . . .wheee, just let go. Medical Industrial Complex trying to "own" Eastern Wisdom and turn everything into shabby faux science. Why not just ask people how they feel instead of making them prove it in an fMRI machine? UCSF is considered one of the top research institutions in the country and this is the Director of the Depression Center. And this is the result. Yawn.
When my voice wonders, I call it monkey brain, or monkey voice. I give it a job, so if it interferes in my breathe observation, I make monkey voice count my breathe. It works. After while, no monkey voice, no monkey brain. Empty.
This is incredible!
