The HSCL-20: one questionnaire, two versions.

摘要

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) [1] was developed as an intervention for relapse prevention in depression, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in three randomized controlled trials [2-4]. One fundamental characteristic of MBCT is that patients practice mindful-ness exercises that intensively train bodily awareness. But what could be the benefits of developing a heightened awareness of the body? MBCT proposes that the self-perpetuating patterns of ruminative, negative modes of mind that often lead to relapse are not solely cognitive in nature. Instead, they are characterized by complex configurations of negative mood, thoughts, and body sensations [1, p. 67]. This notion is supported by recent research emphasizing the close and reciprocal relationships between bodily and emotional processes. This research converges in the idea of the embodied nature of emotion [5].
