Treatment for Chronic Pain for Adults in the Seventh and Eighth Decades of Life: A Preliminary Study of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Overview
This preliminary study examines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for chronic pain in 40 adults aged 60 and older who participated in a residential intervention focused on enhancing psychological flexibility rather than reducing pain intensity. The resource reports significant improvements in physical and psychosocial disability, as well as depression, at post-treatment and three-month follow-up. It is intended for readers interested in clinical outcomes and treatment process variables for older adult populations.
