What this study is
This project aims to implement and evaluate a dyadic intervention (i.e., acceptance commitment therapy) for persons with AD/ADRD and their care partners. We hypothesize the intervention will be feasible, acceptable, and show preliminary efficacy of the dyadic interveniotns.
What's being tested
- Acceptance Commitment Therapy
Intervention · BEHAVIORAL
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that aims to enhance psychological flexibility through six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, being present, self-as-context, values clarification, and committed action. Rather than attempting to eliminate difficult thoughts and feelings, ACT encourages individuals to accept them while committing to behavior changes consistent with their personal values.
