MiCBT is turning 20!

Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT) is an evidence-based therapy approach that integrates mindfulness training with core principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The theory underlying MiCBT is strongly based on interdisciplinary scientific research, particularly on clinical neuroscience, without losing its foundation in Buddhist psychology.

Following over a decade of conceptualization and model development between 1989 and 2000, MiCBT emerged independently from other mindfulness-based interventions between 2001 and 2003. MiCBT was developed as a manualized transdiagnostic psychological treatment, which is being used and researched internationally.
