A Randomized Controlled Trial of Group-Based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates an 8-week group-based acceptance and commitment therapy (GACT) program for adults aged 18–40 with major depressive disorder in Korea. The study compares outcomes between a GACT group and a waitlist control, reporting significant improvements in depression symptoms, rumination, experiential avoidance, and cognitive fusion for the treatment group. It also identifies that changes in experiential avoidance are associated with reductions in depressive symptoms.
