Adolescents’ experiences of acceptance and commitment therapy for depression: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of good-outcome cases
Overview
This qualitative study explores the experiences of five adolescents with major depressive disorder who achieved positive outcomes through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, the authors identify four key themes: the importance of a receptive and trustworthy therapist, spaces for exploring emotions, engagement in value-oriented actions, and treatment scheduling. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in patient perspectives on ACT efficacy.
