Efficacy of an acceptance-based behavior therapy for generalized anxiety disorder: Evaluation in a randomized controlled trial.
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates an acceptance-based behavioral therapy for generalized anxiety disorder, comparing immediate versus delayed treatment groups. The study reports significant reductions in GAD and depressive symptoms that were maintained at follow-up, with a majority of participants no longer meeting diagnostic criteria post-treatment. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in clinical outcomes and symptom changes associated with this specific intervention.
