Optimising the acceptability and feasibility of acceptance and commitment therapy for treatment-resistant generalised anxiety disorder in older adults
Overview
This paper outlines a person-based approach to adapting acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for older adults with treatment-resistant generalized anxiety disorder. The authors describe qualitative interviews with service users and healthcare professionals, along with think-aloud techniques, used to identify guiding principles for the intervention. The resulting framework emphasizes values, collaborative partnership, and accommodations for age-related cognitive changes.
