“…Additionally, this type of therapy played a role in reducing depressive symptoms and improving cognitive emotion regulation strategies in depressive students (26). Based on the results of another study, ACT contributed to increasing the quality of life, general health, vitality, and the mental health of infertile women (12).…”

“…commitment therapy (ACT) is one of the therapies which belongs to the third wave of cognitive behavioral therapies and has its roots in functional contextualism and relational frame theory (12). This therapy focuses on changing the relationship with internal experiences (e.g., thoughts, feelings, memories, and physical senses) instead of altering the content of the experiences directly (13).…”

Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on the quality of life of infertile women during the treatment. Materials and Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial that was conducted on 40 infertile women admitted to the clinics of Arak, Iran. They were selected through a convenience sampling technique and were randomly assigned to intervention (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. The Fertility Quality of Life (FertiQoL) Questionnaire was used as a data collection tool, which was completed before and one month after the intervention. The counseling group was provided with eleven 90-minute sessions of ACT twice a week. Then, the data were analyzed using SPSS 23 through the chi-square test and independent samples test. Results: Based on the results, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the quality of life in ACT and control groups before and one month after the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusions: In general, it seems that ACT improves the infertile women’s quality of life and this treatment can be used for alleviating the quality of life of these women taking into account the high incidence of infertility.

“…Some contemporary reviews focus on the effects of Internet interventions for specific disorders or conditions, different target populations, and on specific forms of psychological treatments, such as, for example, acceptance and commitment therapy. Another recent trend is to conduct individual participant data meta‐analyses, by pooling the raw data from different research groups, which facilitates moderator analyses.…”

Internet‐delivered psychological treatments: from innovation to implementation

et al. 2019

Internet interventions, and in particular Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT), have existed for at least 20 years. Here we review the treatment approach and the evidence base, arguing that ICBT can be viewed as a vehicle for innovation. ICBT has been developed and tested for several psychiatric and somatic conditions, and direct comparative studies suggest that therapist-guided ICBT is more effective than a waiting list for anxiety disorders and depression, and tends to be as effective as face-to-face CBT. Studies on the possible harmful effects of ICBT are also reviewed: a significant minority of people do experience negative effects, although rates of deterioration appear similar to those reported for face-to-face treatments and lower than for control conditions. We further review studies on change mechanisms and conclude that few, if any, consistent moderators and mediators of change have been identified. A recent trend to focus on knowledge acquisition is considered, and a discussion on the possibilities and hurdles of implementing ICBT is presented. The latter includes findings suggesting that attitudes toward ICBT may not be as positive as when using modern information technology as an adjunct to face-to-face therapy (i.e., blended treatment). Finally, we discuss future directions, including the role played by technology and machine learning, blended treatment, adaptation of treatment for minorities and non-Western settings, other therapeutic approaches than ICBT (including Internet-delivered psychodynamic and interpersonal psychotherapy as well as acceptance and commitment therapy), emerging regulations, and the importance of reporting failed trials.

“…The duration of ACT interventions varies considerably; ranging from 12 one-hour individual sessions (16) to as short as 20 minute sessions integrated into primary care visits (17). Different treatment delivery formats such as individual therapy sessions (18), one day workshops (19), telephone delivered therapy (20), a smartphone app (20), and web-based therapy (21) have been used in prior research.…”

Mindfulness meditation has a longstanding history in eastern practices that has received considerable public interest in recent decades. Indeed, the science, practice, and implementation of Mindfulness Based Interventions (MBIs) have dramatically increased in recent years. At its base, mindfulness is a natural human state in which an individual experiences and attends to the present moment. Interventions have been developed to train individuals how to incorporate this practice into daily life. The current article will discuss the concept of mindfulness and describe its implementation in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. We further identify for whom MBIs have been shown to be efficacious and provide an up-to-date summary of how these interventions work. This includes research support for the cognitive, psychological, and neural mechanisms that lead to psychiatric improvements. This review provides a basis for incorporating these interventions into treatment.
