A randomised controlled trial of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for psychosis: study protocol
Overview
This study protocol outlines a single-blind, multi-center randomized controlled trial evaluating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for individuals with chronic, medication-resistant psychotic symptoms. The research compares ACT against an active befriending control condition to assess impacts on mental state, symptom distress, and social functioning in community-residing patients. The resource is designed for researchers and clinicians interested in the methodological design of clinical trials for psychosis interventions.
