Linehan's dialectical behavioral therapy is based on Eastern philosophy, mindfulness included, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Her therapy has been shown to be effective. And DBT has been modified by other practitioners for different patient groups. I don't see any reasons it wouldn't be effective for depression as well.
I've been referring to her so often that I ought to doublequote a book.
"Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder"
I'm planning to take it in to my therapist to go over some stuff soon. It's been a while and I think he's forgotten.
