This is an outcome study of an 8 weeks Mindfuness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) program for patients with depressive symptoms in a public mental health setting. 69 subjects participated in the study: 38 of them received MBCT and 31 received treatment as usual in the public mental health units of the island of Tenerife. The MBCT program developed by Segal, Williams and Teasdale (2002) to prevent depression relapse was adapted to treat patients with depressive symptoms but not in an acute phase. Results showed that such an adaptation is viable and offers patients a useful tool to face depression.
