Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is aimed at treating persons going through major depressive disorder remission. The key objective of this is to provide them with a chance at practicing the nurturing of non-judgemental mindfulness associated with harmless state of mind, physical ambiences and judgements, before attempting to utilize the same processing in case of harmful emotional state, physical sensations and judgements (Crane & Williams, 2010).

A synthesis of what the studies reveal about the current state of knowledge on the question developed The mindfulness meditation theory appears to have the potential to treat addictive disorder patients. Zgierska and coworkers (2009) state that such models seem to be safe if implemented within the context of clinical studies.

Social Construction of Aging in Nursing Homes Aging is socially constructed. Using the perspective of symbolic-interactionism, it is possible to show the precise processes whereby the social construction of aging takes place inside specific institutional contexts, like the American nursing home.
