Effect of acceptance and commitment therapy for adolescent depression: a meta-analysis
Overview
This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy for adolescent depression by synthesizing data from 25 randomized controlled trials involving 2,352 participants. The study reports that ACT significantly reduces depressive symptoms, with improvements in psychological flexibility serving as a key predictor of this outcome. It further examines how delivery mode and setting influence effectiveness, noting differences between offline and internet-based formats as well as group versus individual interventions.
