Professor Willem Kuyken, Director of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, discusses his new meta-analysis of mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for recurrent depression. This new study is an important step forward for MBCT which now deserves to be considered alongside other evidence-based treatments for preventing the recurrence of depression. 

Willem also told us about his own personal journey to becoming one of the world's leading mindfulness researchers, and along the way we talked about the evidence for mindfulness-based interventions, the safety and cost-effectiveness of mindfulness, researcher allegiance, mindfulness in schools and how he sees mindfulness fitting into care pathways for people with depression.

The COCAPP study is about mental health risk, care planning and therapeutic relationships. This podcast interview with Alan Simpson and Sarah Carr explores the importance of assessing and managing risk, how to make care planning work for staff and service users, and what constitutes a positive therapeutic relationship.

Along the way we talk about the impact that austerity is having on the lives of service users, carers and staff, and we discuss what needs to be done to make research a central component of frontline mental health practice.
