La terapia de aceptación y compromiso en síntomas depresivos de adolescentes: Revisión sistemática

Abstract

The available literature on psychotherapeutic approaches to addressing depression symptoms in adolescents is limited. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is presented as a promising alternative, supported by solid therapeutic principles used in various mental health problems. To assess the effectiveness of ACT in reducing depressive symptoms in adolescents, a systematic review of empirical studies published in the last decade was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, and Springer databases. A total of 24 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results suggest that ACT could be an effective treatment option for depressive symptoms in adolescents. However, further research on interventions with similar characteristics is needed to confirm the findings.
