ACT Internet-based vs face-to-face? A randomized controlled trial of two ways to deliver Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for depressive symptoms: An 18-month follow-up

TL;DR: Evidence indicates that ACT treatment outcomes are mediated through increases in psychological flexibility, its theorized process of change, with largely equivalent effects relative to traditional cognitive behavioral therapy.

TL;DR: The results suggest that an online-based, coach-guided ACT program with blended face-to-face and online sessions could be an effective and well-accepted alternative for enhancing the wellbeing of university students.

TL;DR: Students who participated in a bystander program, compared to those who had not, had more pro-social attitudes/beliefs about sexual violence and intervening to prevent it, and engaged in more bystander behavior.

TL;DR: ACT in a Web-based delivery format was found to be effective in the management of depression suggesting that this therapeutic approach is highly acceptable for patients and the general public.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined clinically significant change as the extent to which therapy moves someone outside the range of the dysfunctional population or within the ranges of the functional population, and proposed a reliable change index (RC) to determine whether the magnitude of change for a given client is statistically reliable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for estimating the effect size from a series of experiments using a fixed effect model and a general linear model, and combine these two models to estimate the effect magnitude.

TL;DR: The ACT Model of Psychopathology and Human Suffering as discussed by the authors is a model of psychopathy and human suffering that is based on the Dilemma of human suffering and self-defusing self.

TL;DR: There are not enough well-controlled studies to conclude that ACT is generally more effective than other active treatments across the range of problems examined, but so far the data are promising.
