Acceptance and Commitment Therapy vs. Supportive Psychotherapy With Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cystic Fibrosis

In brief

The objective of the study is to assess the utility of "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy" (ACT) in which subjects learn new ways to manage uncomfortable experiences and feelings and to engage in positive behaviors, over "Supportive Psychotherapy" in which subjects talk about their experiences to date in a cohort of adult Cystic Fibrosis patients. The hypothesis is that six telehealth/webcam sessions of ACT will lead to an improvement in medication and visit compliance, as well as an overall improved sense of well-being and coping skills, particularly as compared with 6 telehealth/webcam sessions of supportive psychotherapy.
