Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group: Internet attachment-based compassion therapy (iABCT).
The iABCT is a self-applied program based on the attachment theory and the use of compassion meditations. It is composed of 8 modules that have been reformulated to be completely self-applied and include text, images, illustrations, videos, audio with guided meditations, exercises, and homework. Downloadable PDF files will be made available so that users can review them offline. Each module has been optimized to have a duration of 60 and 90 minutes approximately. The entire intervention is estimated to be completed in eight weeks.
