Abstract :

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on reducing the negative strategies of cognitive emotion regulation. The research design is quasi-experimental of pre-test and post-test type with control group. The statistical population of the present study involved all patients referring to psychiatry clinics of Tabriz who had received obsessive-compulsive disorder diagnosis. From statistical population 30 patients were selected using purposeful sampling method, and placed at control and experimental groups. The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) (Garnefski, Kraaij & Spinhoven, 2002) was employed in both groups before and after attending eight sessions of MBCT. The data were analyzed conducing MANCOVA. The results showed that MBCT affects negative strategies of cognitive emotion regulation. Based on the results, it can be concluded that MBCT decreases negative strategies of cognitive emotion regulation (blaming others, catastrophizing and rumination).
