About This Program

Target Population: Children ages 8- to 12-years old with anxiety or depression; can be modified for both younger and older children

For children/adolescents ages: 8 – 12

Program Overview

MBCT-C is a psychotherapy for anxious or depressed children adapted from MBCT for adults which has been rated by the CEBC in the Depression Treatment (Adult) topic area. The adult and child programs both combine mindfulness-based theory and practices with cognitively oriented interventions. The primary aim is to improve affective self-regulation through development of mindful attention and decentering from thoughts and emotions. Unlike cognitive therapy, no effort is made to restructure or change existing thoughts and emotions. The program consists of 12 weekly therapy sessions lasting 90-minutes, conducted individually or in small groups of 6-8 children. Activities are designed to be engaging and developmentally appropriate for children ages 8 to 12. Home-based practice activities aim to further develop skills learned in each session. Parents/caregivers are invited to attend two separate adult sessions. Written session summaries, handouts, and home practice schedules are provided at every session. These written materials encourage adults to participate in the home-based activities along with the child.

Program Goals

The goals of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) are:

  • Enhance social-emotional resiliency
  • Promote positive changes in how the child relates to their own thoughts and emotions
  • Learn to distinguish thoughts that are judgmental from those that simply describe or note one's experiences
  • Recognize that judgments often escalate mood disturbances, then mood disturbances can trigger maladaptive behaviors
  • Cultivate self-acceptance and acceptance of those things that cannot be changed
  • Expand awareness of personal emotional and behavioral choices

Logic Model

The program representative did not provide information about a Logic Model for Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C).

Essential Components

The essential components of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) include:

  • Unlike Cognitive Therapy, MBCT-C makes no attempt to change the content of negative thinking, instead encouraging children to change how they relate to their own thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. In this way, they have opportunities to discover that these are transient events in the mind and the body, with which they can choose to engage – or not to engage
  • Helps children realize that thoughts, feelings (emotions), and body sensations are "just" thoughts, feelings, and body sensations, rather than "truth" or "me" by having the therapist repeatedly notice and offer nonjudgmental observations, with interest and compassion
  • Helps children learn to see more clearly the patterns of the mind, and to recognize that falling into anxious overanalysis or depressive rumination is often fueled by strong emotions, which serves only to increase the child's emotional and behavioral problems
  • Helps break associations between anxious or depressed moods and negative thinking
  • Helps children develop the capacity to allow distressing thoughts, feelings, and body sensations to come and go, without feeling that they have to suppress them, run away from them, or do battle with them
  • Teaches skills to help children stay in touch with the present moment, without feeling driven to dwell on the past or worry about the future
  • 12-week group therapy that consists of weekly 90-minute sessions plus home practice activities; treatment manual also provides suggestions for ways to adapt MBCT-C to use in individual therapy
  • Recommended group size is 6 to 8 children
  • Activities designed to be engaging and developmentally appropriate for children ages 8 to 12; adaptable for use with both younger and older children and for youth with special needs
  • Parents/caregivers invited to attend two separate adult sessions that offer detailed information about the program, experiential practice with mindfulness activities, and encouraged to join the child in doing the weekly home-practice activities
  • Unlike most therapies, session summaries, handouts, and home practice activities provided for every session and used to encourage parents/caregivers to understand the program aims and interventions, as well as allowing them to participate in home-based mindfulness activities with the child
  • Developmentally appropriate, child-friendly mindfulness activities include mindfulness of the breath, body scan, and yoga-like movement activities; mindfulness of thoughts, emotions, and body sensations; and sensory-based activities (i.e., visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, and kinesthetic sensations)

Both the book and the e-book are available through New Harbinger Publications (http://www.newharbinger.com/mindfulness-based-cognitive-therapy-anxious-children) and many other booksellers.

Formal Support for Implementation

There is formal support available for implementation of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) as listed below:

The program representative listed at the bottom of the page and trainers listed in the training section above are available by request for teleconference or onsite support for clinical consultation and coaching. The program representative is available for consultation on research design and methodology, fidelity monitoring, leadership coaching, and program effectiveness evaluations. Fees for these optional services are determined between each trainer and organization.

Fidelity Measures

There are fidelity measures for Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) as listed below:

  • Two program-specific evaluation questionnaires (one for parents and one for child participants) are included as Appendix D in the MBCT-C treatment manual. These are used to assess acceptability and satisfaction with the program. These are client self-report questionnaires that require no training to administer or score. Both evaluation questionnaires are included with this application.
  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children Adherence Scale (MBCT-C-AS; Semple & Sears, 2014) is a 20-item measure of MBCT-C components that can be observer-rated or self-rated by the group therapist for each session. Response choices define evidence for the presence of each MBCT-C component on a three-point scale: "not at all", "slight/inconsistent" or "clear/consistent". The MBCT-C-AS has not yet been validated, although it was adapted from, and is very similar to, the adult MBCT Adherence Scale, which is a validated measure. This is a research measure of fidelity that requires understanding and experience with MBCT-C in order to complete the ratings. The MBCT-C-AS is included with this application.

All three of these measures are available free of charge by request. Email: MBCTforChildren@gmail.com

Type of Study: Randomized controlled trial
Number of Participants: 25

Population:

  • Age — 9–13 years
  • Race/Ethnicity — 15 Latino, 7 African American, and 3 Caucasian
  • Gender — 17 Female and 8 Male
  • Status — Participants were children enrolled in a remedial reading program in a community-based clinic.

Location/Institution: Harlem and Washington Heights, New York

Summary: (To include basic study design, measures, results, and notable limitations)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and helpfulness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) for the treatment of internalizing and externalizing symptoms in a sample of non-referred children. Participants were first matched by age and gender, then randomly assigned to one of two MBCT-C groups, the first beginning immediately and the second group beginning 4 months later. Measures utilized include the Child Behavior Checklist: Parent Report Form (CBCL), the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC), the Reynolds Child Depression Scale (RCDS), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC). Results indicate that MBCT-C is helpful in reducing internalizing and externalizing symptoms within subjects on the parent-reported CBCL. For the child-report measures, there were no significant changes in anxiety as measured by the MASC and STAIC, nor was there a significant change in depressive symptoms as measured by the RCDS, for either the Intent-to-Treat participants or the Completers. The high attendance rate, high retention rate, and positive ratings on program evaluations supported treatment feasibility and acceptability. Limitations include the use of clinical assessment measures on a sample of children who did not meet diagnostic criteria for any internalizing or externalizing disorder, the small sample size, the absence of an active intervention comparison group, and the lack of follow-up.

Length of controlled postintervention follow-up: None.

Type of Study: Randomized controlled trial
Number of Participants: 25

Population:

  • Age — 9–13 years
  • Race/Ethnicity — 17 Latino, 6 African American, and 2 Caucasian
  • Gender — 15 Female and 10 Male
  • Status — Participants were children with anxiety or stress.

Location/Institution: Not Specified

Summary: (To include basic study design, measures, results, and notable limitations)
The purpose of the study was to examine Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) in reducing (a) attention problems, (b) anxiety symptoms, and (c) behavior problems in children. Participants were first matched by age and gender, and then randomly assigned to one of four independent groups: MBCT-C (Groups A and B) and the waitlisted control participants (Groups C and D). Measures utilized include the Child Behavior Checklist: Parent Report Form (CBCL), the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC). Results indicate that participants who completed MBCT-C showed fewer attention problems than wait-listed controls and those improvements were maintained at three months following the intervention. A strong relationship was found between attention problems and behavior problems. Reductions in attention problems accounted for almost half of the variance of changes in behavior problems, although attention changes proved to be a nonsignificant mediator of behavior problems. Significant reductions in anxiety symptoms and behavior problems were found for those children who reported clinically elevated levels of anxiety at pretest. Limitations include the small sample size, the potential for one or two members of a group to influence treatment effects for other members, and the lack of a control group at the follow-up time point.

Length of controlled postintervention follow-up: None.

  • Gender — 100% Female
  • Status — Participants were children with generalized anxiety disorder.

Location/Institution: University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran

Summary: (To include basic study design, measures, results, and notable limitations)
The purpose of the study was to examine Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) in reducing generalized anxiety in female elementary students. Participants were randomly assigned to MBCT-C or a control group. Measures utilized include the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), the Penn State Worry Questionnaire for Children (PSWQ-C) and the Revised Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS). Results indicate that significant differences were observed between female elementary students of MBCT-C and control groups at posttest phase in terms of worry and anxiety, showing that MBCT-C reduces anxiety and worry. Limitations include lack of generalizability due to gender of participants, only examining the effectiveness on generalized anxiety disorder, and small sample size.

Length of controlled postintervention follow-up: 2 months.

  • Gender — Children: 50 Female and 33 Male; Parents: Not specified
  • Status — Participants were divorced parents and their children.

Location/Institution: Teheran, Iran

Summary: (To include basic study design, measures, results, and notable limitations)
The purpose of the study was to examine whether children of divorce who participated in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) would show greater reductions in depression, anxiety, and anger symptoms and would demonstrate enhanced emotional resiliency. Participants were randomized to either a MBCT-C or to no-treatment control group. Measures utilized include the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC), the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2 (STAXI-2), the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI), and Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM). Results indicate that at the end of intervention, MBCT-C participants showed significantly fewer symptoms of depression, trait anxiety, state anxiety, trait anger, and state anger in comparison with the control group. The MBCT-C group also demonstrated an increase in emotional resiliency and significant enhancements in acceptance and mindfulness. Limitations include that the cultural stigma of divorce may have precluded individuals from participating in this study, the small sample size, and the short length of follow-up.

Length of controlled postintervention follow-up: 2 months.

Type of Study: Randomized controlled trial
Number of Participants: 89

Population:

  • Age — 8–13 years (Mean=12.12 years)
  • Race/Ethnicity — Not specified
  • Gender — 50% Male and 50% Female
  • Status — Participants were children from three primary schools, their parents/guardians, and teachers.

Location/Institution: South Australia

Summary: (To include basic study design, measures, results, and notable limitations)
The purpose of the study was to compare Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) to the FRIENDS for Life program, a cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for children experiencing internalizing difficulties. Participants were randomized to either MBCT-C or to CBT. Measures utilized include the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS), the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-12), the Strengths and Difficulty Questionnaire (SDQ), and Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM). Results indicate that only limited differences were found between programs. Both programs had small effects on symptoms of anxiety and depression, quality of life, attention control, and parent- and teacher-SDQ Total Difficulties, as well as moderate-large effects on shifting attention. There were no statistically significant changes in mindfulness or sustained attention. Limitations include small sample size, reliance on self-reported measures, and lack of follow-up.

Length of controlled postintervention follow-up: None.

Type of Study: Pretest–posttest study with a nonequivalent control group (Quasi-experimental)
Number of Participants: 43

Population:

  • Age — 8–13 years (Mean=13.6 years)
  • Race/Ethnicity — 82% White
  • Gender — 72% Female and 28% Male
  • Status — Participants were youth with anxiety disorders who had at least one parent with bipolar disorder.

Location/Institution: South Australia

Summary: (To include basic study design, measures, results, and notable limitations)
The aim of the present study was to Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) is feasible and may improve anxiety and emotion regulation in youth with anxiety disorders at-risk for bipolar disorder. Participants were randomized to either MBCT-C or a waitlist control. Measures utilized include the Washington University Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (WASH-U KSADS), the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Present/Lifetime (SCIDP/L), the State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI), the Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC), the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), and the Paediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS). Results indicated there were significantly greater improvements in overall clinical severity in the MBCT-C period compared to the waitlist period, but not in clinician- and child rated anxiety, emotion regulation, or mindfulness. However, increases in mindfulness were associated with improvements in anxiety and emotion regulation in the MBCT-C period, but not the waitlist period. Limitations include nonrandomization of participants, small sample size, reliance on self-reported measures, and lack of follow-up.

Length of controlled postintervention follow-up: None.
