The magnitude of intervention effects at 128 weeks ranged from d = .5 to d = 1.1.ConclusionMBSR may be an effective long-term treatment for adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. Further investigation of MBSR with this population is warranted given the durability of treatment effects described here.© 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
