No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of three psychotherapeutic programs in group format: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Behavioral Activation (AC) and Transdiagnostic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TD-CBT), for the treatment of emotional disorders. Considering the data of the literature and the results of previous research, it is expected that this clinical investigation shows that transdiagnostic interventions that are tested (AC, ACT, TD-CBT) cause clinical changes in the post-treatment. However, it is expected that in post-treatment and in the short and medium-term follow-up, significant differences will be found between the transdiagnostic therapies examined in all outcome criteria variables; and that the greatest effectiveness and effectiveness be achieved in contextual therapies, in particular, in Behavioral Activation therapy. It is expected that the study design will allow obtaining firm evidence of the active therapeutic ingredients from the analysis of the differential efficacy of each of the psychotherapeutic programs. As a final consequence and based on the results and discussion on transdiagnostic conditions and transtherapeutic elements, it is expected to develop a unified treatment protocol (in group format -as an efficient work format and appropriate to the needs of public health services-) to be easily applied in the field of primary care. It could facilitate access to effective treatment of common mental disorders in public health services.
