The goal of MBCT is to prevent a relapse in depression for individuals diagnosed with a major depressive disorder (Segal, Williams, & Teasdale, 2002). Prevention of client relapse is achieved by teaching clients to become more aware of their thoughts and feelings and to relate to such occurrences in decentered perspective as "mental events" instead of as aspects of the self or as true reflections of reality. The theory assumes that teaching clients how to decenter their thoughts will prevent the escalation of negative thinking that is linked to depression relapse. In contrast to CBT, there is little emphasis in MBCT on changing the content or specific meanings of negative automatic thoughts (Teasdale, et al., 2000). The primary goal is to change clients' awareness of their automatic negative thoughts and their relationship to such thoughts.
