Randomized clinical trial of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) versus acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for mixed anxiety disorders.
Overview
This randomized clinical trial compares acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for individuals with mixed anxiety disorders. The study reports that while both treatments yielded similar improvements immediately after treatment, ACT demonstrated greater long-term reductions in anxiety severity and higher psychological flexibility at the 12-month follow-up among completers. Conversely, CBT was associated with higher quality of life scores and greater perceived treatment credibility.
