Abstract
|
|
|
|
Preliminary efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) was tested in a group of 16 college students at risk for anxiety and depression. Students with high levels of rumination and worry were randomly assigned to eight weekly sessions of ACT or CBT. Thirteen participants completed treatment and provided pre- and post-test data. Results suggested both ACT and CBT are promising treatments for reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, worry, and rumination, as well as reducing endorsement of dysfunctional beliefs and negative automatic thoughts and increasing psychological acceptance. Because of their apparent effects on cognitive constructs associated with vulnerability to anxiety and depression, these interventions may be useful as preventive approaches in young adults, with prevention applicability.
