Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and Their Combination in the Improvement of Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms and Experiential Avoidance in Patients With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Overview
This study compares the effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), and their combination on adults with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The research reports that both ACT and the combined treatment resulted in greater improvements in obsessive-compulsive symptoms and experiential avoidance compared to SSRIs alone. However, the authors note that adding SSRIs to ACT did not significantly enhance outcomes beyond ACT alone in the short term.
