To describe and summarize published research on accelerated resolution therapy (ART), a promising and relatively new psychotherapy with the potential to offer rapid and effective resolution of a wide range of psychiatric symptoms. Unlike most evidence-based psychotherapies, ART is a predominately imaginative therapy that relies upon the rescripting of distressing events and metaphors as one of its key therapeutic elements.
The number of studies conducted on ART is limited, primarily consisting of one randomized, controlled trial (RCT) with 57 subjects and two large cohort studies involving 80 and 117 subjects, respectively. However, a growing body of research in the neuroscience field involving the initial creation (consolidation), activation, and reconsolidation of memories may also be relevant and is summarized herein. ART appears to be an effective, efficient, and versatile form of psychotherapy. Future studies, particularly high-quality RCTs, are needed to more fully understand the potential reach of this promising therapeutic modality.
描述并总结已发表的关于加速解决疗法（ART）的研究，这是一种有前景且相对较新的心理治疗方法，有可能快速有效地解决广泛的精神症状。与大多数循证心理治疗不同，ART主要是一种想象疗法，将对痛苦事件和隐喻的重新编写作为其关键治疗要素之一。
对ART进行的研究数量有限，主要包括一项有57名受试者的随机对照试验（RCT）以及两项分别涉及80名和117名受试者的大型队列研究。然而，神经科学领域中越来越多关于记忆的初始创建（巩固）、激活和重新巩固的研究可能也与之相关，本文对此进行了总结。ART似乎是一种有效、高效且通用的心理治疗形式。需要进一步的研究，尤其是高质量的RCT，以更全面地了解这种有前景的治疗方式的潜在应用范围。
