adaptations of various traditional Buddhist meditation practices
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR); Mindfulness-Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR); Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT); Mindfulness-based based cognitive therapy (MBCT); Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP); Loving-kindness meditation and relapse prevention (MBRP); Loving-kindness meditation and Compassionate mind training (CMT). Compassionate mind training (CMT).

a recent excellent overview of this field is provided by:
Hayes, S. C., M. Villatte, et al. (2011). "Open, aware, and active: Contextual approaches as an emerging trend in the behavioral and cognitive therapies." Annual Review of Clinical Psychology 7(1): 141-168. A wave of new developments has occurred in the behavioral and cognitive therapies that focuses on processes such as acceptance, mindfulness, attention, or values. In this review, we describe some of these developments and the data regarding them, focusing on information about components, moderators, mediators, and processes of change. These “third wave” methods all emphasize the context and function of psychological events more so than their validity, frequency, or form, and for these reasons we use the term “contextual cognitive behavioral therapy” to describe their characteristics. Both putative processes, and component and process evidence, indicate that they are focused on establishing a more open, aware, and active approach to living, and that their positive effects occur because of changes in these processes.
