Comparación de dos protocolos de intervención basados en la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso y Entrenamiento en Mindfulness en personas con Trastorno Mental Crónico

Abstract

Contextual Therapies are proving to be an effective alternative in the treatment of mental health problems, especially those involving high level chronicity. In this research thirty-six participants with significant social dysfunction were randomly assigned to three interventions, one based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), one based on Mindfulness training (MIND) and a control group on the waiting list who continued their usual treatment (TAU). Self-report measures and measures completed by anyone and blind to the study personnel were used. The results of both ACT, MIND scored were in the expected direction from TAU at the post-test. In follow-ups, however the ACT group obtained significant results in most of the main measures of the study while in the group of MIND, the initial results were diluting the over time. This different evolution between groups requires further analysis.
