Abstract
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) are effective therapies for treating psychological disorders, but direct comparative studies are limited, with research mainly relying on meta-analyses. So, the objective of my study is to compare the effectiveness of CBT and MBCT in improving life satisfaction in individuals with psychological disorders. Purposive sampling was used to select 32 participants with psychological disorders intentionally and evenly divide them into CBT (16) and MBCT (16) individual sessions. All participants received eight individual therapy sessions and a follow-up session. In conclusion, the study shows that MBCT and CBT are efficient therapies, but MBCT is more effective than CBT in terms of improving life satisfaction.
