Supervision and Monitoring
In IAPT, PWPs are graduates (in any discipline) who complete a year-long CBT-SH training. The 69 study PWPs received training to support MBCT-SH for this study. Training in the study involved qualified PWPs completing an MBCT course in person or using the workbook and then attending a 2-day MBCT-SH training. As is standard in MBCT, PWPs were encouraged to cultivate their own mindfulness practice.The same PWPs delivered both interventions to account for therapist effects.
