Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Mindful Self-Compassion

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mindful Self-Compassion

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Mindful Self-Compassion has been developed by Neff and Germer as a specific kind of Mindfulness-Based Interventions to promote self-compassion. It combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion, providing a powerful tool for emotional resilience and enhancing the capacity for emotional wellbeing. In this study, a shortened version of the MSC program is used which is applied once a week for 75 minutes throughout the patients' stay in the rehabilitation clinic.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Progressive Muscle Relaxation by Jacobson is a deep relaxation technique that helps relieve muscle tension and is based on the premise that mental calmness is a natural result of physical relaxation. In this study, Progressive Muscle Relaxation is applied once a week for 75 minutes throughout the patients' stay in the rehabilitation clinic.
