Choosing ACT or CBT: A preliminary test of incorporating client preferences for depression treatment with college students
Background: Depression is a significant concern among college students, who suffer at higher rates and with greater severity than the general population. Online self-help could reduce the burden currently placed on college counseling centers, and programs based in cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs) have a strong evidence base. However, online CBTs for depression often suffer from low adherence rates. An understudied method for improving adherence in this population is offering students a choice between various CBTs.

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of the Feasibility and Acceptability of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Comorbid Social Anxiety Disorder in a Routine Practice Setting
A prior open trial of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for comorbid social anxiety disorder (SAD) and depression showed clinically significant improvement over the course of 16 sessions. The aim of the current study was to test the feasibility and acceptability of ACT for this population in a pilot randomized trial within a routine practice setting. Patients (n = 26) were randomly assigned to 16 weeks of medication treatment as usual (mTAU) versus mTAU plus ACT (mTAU + ACT). Results showed that a significantly greater percentage of patients in mTAU not only dropped out of the study but also dropped out of treatment at the practice altogether, compared to patients in mTAU + ACT.

A pilot parallel randomized controlled trial compared a self-acceptance, non-weight-loss
Østergaard et al., 2019
Depression is a highly recurrent disorder with limited treatment alternatives for reducing risk of subsequent episodes. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and attention bias modification (ABM) separately have shown some promise in reducing depressive symptoms. This study investigates (a) if group-based ACT had a greater impact in reducing residual symptoms of depression over a 12-month follow-up than a control condition, and (b) if preceding ACT with ABM produced added benefits. This multisite study consisted of two phases. In phase 1, participants with a history of depression, currently in remission (N = 244), were randomized to either receive 14 days of ABM or a control condition.
