Existential therapy versus acceptance and commitment therapy for feelings of loneliness and irrational beliefs in male prisoners
Overview
This quasi-experimental study compares the effectiveness of existential therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in reducing loneliness and irrational beliefs among married male prisoners aged 25 to 45. The research involved 36 participants randomly assigned to experimental or control groups, with interventions consisting of eight sessions each. Results indicated that both therapies significantly reduced symptoms compared to the control group, though no significant difference was found between the two therapeutic approaches.
