The course is offered by the Oxford Mindfulness Centre at the Oxford University Department of Psychiatry, in collaboration with the University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education. The course offers an opportunity for in-depth learning and will create a body of clinicians with the knowledge and skills they require in order to develop and disseminate MBCT effectively.
The course is organised in nine three-day teaching blocks (held in Oxford) and three residential training retreats. In addition to the taught component, you will need to set aside six to seven hours per week for private study, personal practice of MBCT, and completion of written assignments. The teaching is mostly highly interactive and experiential, and weaves together personal practice, theory/research and clinical applications.
The course addresses the theoretical basis of MBCT, including relevant aspects of cognitive and clinical psychology, as well as aspects of Buddhist psychology and philosophy on which MBCT draws. It provides opportunities for you to develop the practical skills you need in order to translate knowledge and understanding into competent MBCT practice, by developing and understanding the skills you will be teaching to patients.
