Acceptance and commitment-based therapy for patients with psychiatric and physical health conditions in routine general hospital care & ndash; Development, implementation and outcomes

摘要

Objective: Transdiagnostic approaches are needed to effectively treat patients with a broad range of diagnoses and comorbidities in routine general hospital care. Yet the evidence for the effectiveness of treatments beyond Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is largely lacking. We describe the process of implementing an interdisci-plinary multi-professional Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based treatment for patients with psy-chiatric and physical health conditions and present outcomes before and after implementation.
