MBSR participants with moderate to severe trauma symptoms showed a greater reduction in symptoms whereas mild trauma symptoms at baseline showed slightly higher symptomatology at the end of treatment.Discussion and conclusion From the results, MBCT, MBSR, and their variations seem to tackle different domains of the diagnosis. Whilst MBSR is associated with improvements in terms of attentional difficulties, MBCT facilitates the connection between dysfunctional cognitive concepts and avoidant behaviours that maintain the symptomatology. Nevertheless, the active components of MBCT or MBSR that have an impact on symptom reduction are undetermined. Future studies will be enhanced by monitoring the change in underlying mechanisms attached to the practice of mindfulness through outcome measurements, among other considerations. 2023 reseña 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58274534005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58274534005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58274534005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58274534005/58274534005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58274534005/movil 10.17711/SM.0185-3325.2023.005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.1 Vol.46
