• Research summary

  The study is based on the idea that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) can improve attention problems that commonly follow a traumatic head injury. We will compare Mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) with standard cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). The study will also examine how mindfulness magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) techniques can help in the prediction of long-term psychological outcome after head injury.
