Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Among Adolescents
Overview
This paper presents a study investigating the effectiveness of a 10-week Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) program for treating posttraumatic stress symptoms in adolescents. The research utilized a multiple-baseline design involving seven participants from community and residential samples, measuring outcomes through self-report and clinician-rated scales at pretreatment, posttreatment, and follow-up intervals. The authors report preliminary support for ACT as a treatment for adolescent PTS, noting significant reductions in symptomology across both groups.
