Addition of MCBT - useful for reducing residual dep symptoms in pps with MD + reducing anxiety in pps with bipolar
What are the weaknesses of chiesa and sierreti?
Self assessment —> reliable
- need for rigorous external testing
Small sample sizes, non RCT, some poor quality, absence of control groups
Westernised - only used English published
What are the results of chiesa and sierretti?
Main findings
- MCBT + usual care better than Tau alone for reducing MDD in patients 3+ dep episodes (x3 RCTs - 32% v 60% @ 12 mths)
- MCBT + discontinuation of maintenance = similar relapse at 1 year of ADM
What year was Kuyken et al.? (1st one)
2008
What are the strengths of Kuyken et al.? (1st one)
MCBT siginifcantly better at reducing residual dep. symptoms + quality of life
Better quality of life
What are the results of Kuyken et al.? (1st one)
Outcome study (RCT) MCBT vs ADM vs discontinued ADM —> relapse rates at 15 months MCBT (stopped ADM —> MCBT) = 47% vs ADM at 60% - not significant but showed MCBT doing something
What year was Kuyken et al.? And what was it all about? (2nd and later one)
2010
Mechanism of change RCT
How does MCBT work - changes in mindfulness and self compassion mediated effect of MCBT at follow up
MCBT (targets acceptance/compassion -> mediating variables -> mediates relapse of dep.)
What year was Hayes?
2006
What are the weaknesses of Hayes?
Not enough well controlled studies to conclude that ACT is more effective than other treatments for range of diagnoses - conflicting evidence
Interventions short with limited scope - due to funding of research programs
Lack of data publishing their psychometric properties
Mediation studies often use measures
Taken after outcomes began to improve significantly
What are the strengths of Hayes?
Covers large range of ethnic groups and classes
What are the results of Hayes?
States x6 processes of Helaflex which contribute to psychological flexibility - x2 behavioural, x4 mindfulness
Mediational + process results in favour of act —> working across a broad range of psychological problems —> effect sizes larger for more severe problems

What were the weaknesses of Ruiz?
Varied in size and quality
What were the results of Ruiz?
Reviewed 30 RCTs - all favoured ACTs, including depression, psychosis, work stress, social anxiety. Typically large effect sizes
