The MBCT framework focuses on being able to see them, think about them, and not necessarily CHALLENGE them, as much as see them from a different point of view.
It strikes me as very compassionate and embracing. Realizing that these distortions are illusory.
The folks into that have made ALL KINDS OF CLAIMS about the stuff it can do. John Hagelin has made some pretty big claims. Most notably his "Invincible America Assembly." http://www.hagelin.org/
I'm not happy that TM got brought into the article.
