Résumé

Rooted in the psychotherapies of the third wave which point up the mindfulness concept and the acceptance of life experiences, the MBCT was applied for the first time in 2000 by Teasdale within the framework of a clinical trial designed to explore the key factors of the cognitive vulnerability to recurrent depression. If this princeps study has been replicated on several occasions and is still being deepened at this time, the exploration of the MBCT effects has also been broadened to a plurality of other therapeutic fields. After a brief presentation of its background and basic procedure, we submit an overview of the present state of research based on thirty-seven studies in accordance with the original group format delivery while expressing the main empirical results relating to the efficiency issue of the therapy. The outcomes show evidence of both a proven action in the depression field and a real applicability potential in the other fields explored despite an obvious need of methodological refinement and replication to complement the existing accounts. The outcome analysis will lead us to reflect on the psychotherapeutic drives of the MBCT and to mark the area of its most efficient clinical application modes out. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.
