Of note, results of one randomized trial found comparable outcomes in both Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and transdiagnostic CBT groups for heterogeneous anxiety disorders (Arch et al, 2012), potentially suggesting the ability to bridge techniques from multiple theoretical orientations and/or have additional transdiagnostic options for refractory patients.…”

The effectiveness of adjunct mindfulness-based intervention in treatment of bipolar disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The enrolled studies included 274 participants (68.5% female), with a mean age of 41.1 (standard deviation (SD)=10.7) years.…”

Clinical implications of a general psychopathology factor: A cognitive–behavioral transdiagnostic group treatment for community mental health.

“…As another example, behavioral activation is an intervention found in the generic cognitive model (Beck & Haigh, 2014), Coordinated Anxiety Learning and Management (CALM; Craske et al, 2009), mixed anxiety group (Erickson, Janeck, & Tallman, 2007), transdiagnostic behavior therapy (Gros, 2014), CBT Basics II (K. E. Hamilton et al, 2012), acceptance and commitment therapy (Hayes et al, 2006), common elements treatment approach (Murray et al, 2014), seeking safety (Najavits, 2002), and transdiagnostic Internet treatment (Titov et al, 2011). Collectively, these treatments are used to treat anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder-mania, borderline personality disorder, substance use disorder, eating disorders, and psychosis.…”

“…For example, contextresponsive psychotherapy utilizes evidencebased strategies in response to specific events (e.g., alliance ruptures) that occur throughout the therapy process, regardless of the diagnosis being treated or the treatment interventions being used (Constantino, Boswell, Bernecker, & Castonguay, 2013). In addition, research has shown that ongoing client feedback about the (Hamilton, Wershler, Macrodimitris, Backs-Dermott, Ching, & Mothersill, 2012); acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; Hayes, Luoma, Bond, Masuda, & Lillis, 2006); CBT-breaking the drinking-anxiety connection (CBT-BDAC; Kushner et al, 2013); dialectical behavior therapy (DBT; Linehan, 1993); common elements treatment approach (CETA; Murray et al, 2014); seeking safety therapy (SS; Najavits, 2002); group CBT for anxiety (Gr CBT-Anx; Norton, 2012b); transdiagnostic Internet treatment (Trans IT; Titov et al, 2011).…”
