A Mindfulness-Based Compassion Workshop and Pre-Session Preparation to Enhance Therapist Effectiveness in Psychotherapy: A Pilot Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We investigated the impact of a 1.5 hr workshop based on mindfulness-based compassion practices (MBCP) for 6 doctoral student therapists, followed by these therapists engaging in pre-session preparation for each of their clients in one of 3 randomly assigned conditions (MBCP, self-supervision, preparation-as-usual) over a 1-month period. State mindfulness and meditation self-efficacy increased following the workshop. Therapist ratings of session effectiveness were higher following pre-session meditation relative to preparation-as-usual, although there were no client-rated differences in session outcome. In a focus group, therapists reported that the workshop was generally helpful, and noted that pre-session MBCP led to a positive state of being and increased selfcare. However, they felt rushed to fit in the exercises and some doubted their meditation self-efficacy. They suggested that longer, at-home practice might be more beneficial than pre-session exercises. We encourage replication in larger samples varying the amount and format of meditation training for improving outcomes.
