Cognitive behavioral programs are the most widely used psychotherapy approach today. Traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was transformed by introducing mindfulness and acceptance principles, which arguably made it more effective and acceptable for more people. Two of these modalities are Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
