Summary
This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to gain further insights into possible effects of a standardized 6-week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) training on psychiatric rehabilitation inpatients and aims * to generate insights into which parameters of mental health, and especially emotion regulation, can be improved by MSC in this setting, * to compare effects of MSC training with an established relaxation training (i.e., progressive muscle relaxation; PMR) and * to determine the general conditions and patient characteristics influencing the effectiveness of MSC training.
