The BBC published an article at the beginning of the week reporting the benefits of Mindfulness groups in treating Depression.

The study they report on claims that Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, taught as part of a group programme, is as effective as prescription medication.
We first trialed Mindfulness at Soutra a couple of years ago. We’ve had very successful results and have run the groups a number of times since. It is certainly a group that will be on the Psychotherapy timetable in the new year.
