Some evidence suggests that acceptance-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be well-suited to geriatric generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The primary goal of this project was to determine whether ACT was feasible for this population. Seven older primary-care patients with GAD received 12 individual sessions of ACT; another 9 were treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy. No patients dropped out of ACT, and worry and depression improved. Findings suggest that ACT may warrant a large-scale investigation with anxious older adults.
一些证据表明，接受为基础的方法，如接受和承诺疗法（ACT），可能非常适合老年广泛性焦虑症（GAD）。本项目的主要目标是确定 ACT 是否适用于这一人群。7 名患有 GAD 的老年初级保健患者接受了 12 次个体 ACT 治疗；另外 9 名患者接受认知行为治疗。没有患者退出 ACT，担忧和抑郁得到改善。研究结果表明，ACT 可能值得对焦虑的老年成年人进行大规模调查。
