"ACT Intervention Reduces Psychosis Relapse"

A study in Schizophrenia Research suggests that adding acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to treatment for people with psychosis may lead to reduced distress and lower likelihood of re-hospitalization. Both ACT and 'treatment as usual' were found to reduce psychotic symptoms after four months, but those who did not receive ACT were significantly more likely to be re-hospitalized. The researchers believe that ACT may be feasible and effective for patients with psychosis, and could lead to decreased rehospitalization compared to alternative therapies.
