Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group for treatment-resistant participants: A randomized controlled trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates a group-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention for individuals with various diagnoses who were considered treatment-resistant after completing prior psychosocial treatments. The study compared 26 participants receiving ACT against 19 in a Treatment as Usual based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TAU-CBT) control group, measuring psychological symptoms at post-intervention and six-month follow-up. Results indicated that while all participants experienced immediate symptom reduction, the ACT group demonstrated more sustained improvements over time. The authors note that further controlled evaluations are needed to confirm these findings and assess health economic benefits.
