MBCT and meta-cognitive awareness

What do you think of the work by Teasdale, Segal, and others on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for recurrent major depression?

In a recent article, they wrote:

"CT and MBCT may reduce relapse by changing relationships to negative thoughts rather than by changing belief in thought content."
