The safety and efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy against psychotic symptomatology: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the safety and efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy for adults with psychosis, focusing on overall psychotic symptomatology. The authors analyzed data from six randomized controlled trials involving 274 participants and found a small, non-significant effect size, contrasting with previous findings attributed to data extraction errors. The resource notes that included trials generally had a high risk of bias and inadequate safety reporting, leading to the conclusion that current evidence is insufficient to support ACT as a safe and effective treatment for this population.
