Initial Randomized Controlled Trial of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Distress and Impairment in OEF/OIF Veterans
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Present Centered Therapy for Distress and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 160 participants across 6 sites.
Detailed Summary
This trial compares two psychotherapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Present Centered Therapy (PCT), for veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. We hypothesize that ACT will be more effective than PCT at reducing emotional distress and improving functioning. We further hypothesize that both interventions will be highly acceptable to participants.
