Abstract:

There has been increasing interest in the psychosocial treatment of psychosis based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which has the primary aim of helping people more effectively engage in their lives guided by their values. The approach includes various techniques to change one’s relationship to private experiences, such as hallucination and delusion, rather than rectifying the contents of these experiences. Using the six core processes of the ACT model (hexaflex) tailored to the characteristics of people with psychosis may help alleviate their distress from the symptoms and shape pragmatic value-consistent behaviors. This review introduces the ACT model of psychosis and illustrates the specific ways of applying ACT to people with psychotic experiences.

Abstract:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a process-based intervention that promotes psychological flexibility by implementing six core processes. These include acceptance and awareness as well values and behavior change processes. Still, the primary vehicle for implementing these processes is the therapeutic relationship. Underscoring the importance of the relationship is paramount – it is the context in which the interventions emerge, allowing the therapist to shape psychological flexibility directly. We argue that the therapeutic alliance (TA) is co-created and is a critical factor contributing to the effectiveness of ACT. This paper focuses on the TA as a vital part of ACT treatment. We discuss the therapeutic alliance from an ACT perspective, explore different roles in implementing ACT, and conclude with a clinical case illustration. We more specifically focus on how the TA alliance and the therapeutic relationship can be a vehicle of change in ACT.

Abstract:

In contemporary clinical allied health and medical settings, there has been a proliferation of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) programs. These clinically effective programs have reduced comorbid anxiety, depression, and stress for individuals suffering from chronic medical and psychosocial issues. However, to date, there has been no published work examining the effectiveness of an integrated ACT program for individuals who stutter. In this review, we will provide a platform from which readers will be able to (a) appraise the literature regarding combined speech pathology and psychology therapeutic programs for people who stutter, (b) appreciate an overview of ACT in the context of stuttering disorders, and (c) understand the relevant psychosocial outcome measures that constitute therapeutic change. This unique review of ACT will distinguish the processes of self-concept, defusion, acceptance, mindfulness, values, and committed action in support for people who stutter who experience psychosocial distress. In the culmination of the review, we advance the integration of ACT into current treatments for individuals who stutter.

Abstract:

Abstract Millions of American children under the age of 18 are being cared for by their grandparents and without the presence of the biological parents. The number of custodial grandfamilies has significantly increased over the last five years. Recent studies have shown that custodial grandparents (CPGs) are often facing specific challenges in life, such as lower emotional well-being, higher parenting burden and stress related to this unique situation. Despite these findings, few interventions take a strengths based approach to improve their mental health and resilience. We describe our efforts to address these issues by proposing intervention anchored in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), emphasizing the importance of acceptance of challenging circumstances outside of one’s control and promoting resilience among participants. The program consists of a web based ACT program with online coaching meetings, six common core sessions and six separate sessions for each age group over a time period of six months. This program is unique in the sense that it utilizes both individual and group session techniques to facilitate the learning process. Main active ingredients of this program are to promote effective coping strategies, to reduce parenting stress among grandparents and to increase life skills (i.e., decision-making, proactivity) among grandchildren. We are hypothesizing that participating in the ACT program will help CGPs to improve self-efficacy, emotional well-being, higher self-confidence, social competence, lower depressive symptoms, and parenting distress, thereby leading to positive outcomes such as improved mental health and higher resilience.

Abstract:

SummaryAcceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a descendant of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). The model draws techniques from a wide variety of sources and unites them within a philosophical and scientific framework to create a principle-driven therapy. Psychopathology is understood as a narrowing behavioural repertoire that develops over time through maladaptive strategies to cope with unwanted private events. The six core components of the therapy remain consistent across a wide range of clinical conditions. The approach combines processes of acceptance and mindfulness with those of commitment and behavioural change to produce increased psychological flexibility and an expanded behavioural repertoire. Since its introduction in 1999 an increasing number of trials show promising results for a wide range of conditions.

Abstract:

Abstract. Stroke will experience setbacks such as difficulty in thinking, speaking and moving. This condition creates a feeling of helplessness with his life, so that post-stroke patients are prone to depression. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in reducing depression in post-stroke patients. This study involved 6 post-stroke participants with major depression. The research method used was quantitative- true eksperiment. Based on the results of the Mann-Whitney posttest, there was a significant difference in scores between the groups that were given Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and those who were not given Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (0.023; p <0.05). So it can be concluded that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be used to reduce depression in post-stroke patients. Keywords: Depression, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), post-stroke.Abstrak. Stroke akan menyebabkan seseorang mengalami kemunduran seperti kesulitan dalam berpikir, berbicara dan bergerak.

Abstract:

BackgroundThe efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in psychosis has been reported but not for medication-resistant psychosis.AimsTo test the efficacy of ACT in a sample of community-residing patients with persisting psychotic symptoms. (Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12608000210370.)MethodThe primary outcome was overall mental state at post-therapy (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale –total); secondary outcomes were psychotic symptom dimensions and functioning. In total, 96 patients were randomised to ACT (n = 49) or befriending (n = 47). Symptom, functioning and process measures were administered at baseline, post-therapy and 6 months later.ResultsThere was no group difference on overall mental state. In secondary analyses the ACT group showed greater improvement in positive symptoms and hallucination distress at follow-up: Cohen's d = 0.52 (95% CI 0.07–0.98) and 0.65 (95% CI 0.24–1.06), respectively.ConclusionsImprovements reflected the treatment focus on positive symptoms; however, absence of process-measure changes suggests that the ACT intervention used did not manipulate targeted processes beyond befriending. Symptom-specific therapy refinements, improved investigation of process and attention to cognitive functioning and dose are warranted in future research.

Abstract:

Partner aggression is a major public health concern. Batterers’ intervention programs (BIPs) are commonly used as an alternative to incarceration for offenders who have been arrested for domestic assault. Historically, BIPs have shown little effectiveness in reducing partner aggression. This article presents a new BIP based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 1999). ACT is a third-wave therapy that builds on the cognitive-behavioral tradition, focusing on increasing psychological flexibility by promoting acceptance and mindfulness processes. Several lines of evidence support the use of ACT in the treatment of partner aggression. Achieving Change Through Values-Based Behavior (ACTV; Lawrence, Langer Zarling, & Orengo-Aguayo, 2014) was developed based on ACT principles with a specific focus on feasibility and transferability to the community correctional setting and court-adjudicated treatment. ACTV incorporates experiential skills training and uses innovative methods to engage participants and teach the ACT processes. This article details the components of ACTV, including a case study to illustrate one participant’s journey through the program. We also present preliminary pilot data, which look promising with respect to reductions in domestic assault and violent recidivism.

Abstract:

AbstractThe third wave of cognitive behavioural therapies has a developing evidence base and there is an increasing demand for specialist training. However, methods for training clinicians have not yet been evaluated in terms of effectiveness and usefulness. This evaluation seeks to assess: (1) the effectiveness of one-day introductory Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) workshops for clinicians in a NHS setting in terms of increasing knowledge of ACT; (2) the impact of experiential techniques as a method for delivering ACT training. A total of 73 participants took part in the workshops and completed questionnaires were administered pre-workshop and post-workshop; a further 29 participants completed follow-up questionnaire after 12 months. Participants demonstrated an increase in ACT knowledge, indicated that their interest had been stimulated, viewed the workshop positively and reported that their clinical work had been influenced by the workshop. In terms of the training process, experiential techniques are integral to ACT practice and training. Participants reported that their training experiences and engagement with the training group had not been aversive. Moreover, there was no evidence that participants’ own levels of experiential avoidance had affected training outcomes.

Abstract:

IntroductionChronic pain is common, costly, and associated with significant disability and negative effects on well-being and mental health. The treatment is challenging, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) aims to help patients in engaging in a flexible and persistent pattern of values-directed behavior while in contact with continuing pain and discomfort.ObjectivesTo provide an updated review on the efficacy of ACT for the management of chronic pain.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review based on the PubMed® and EBSCO databases up to April 2020.ResultsFifteen trials were included. The results were in favour of ACT in pain acceptance, functioning and pain intensity with small to large effect sizes. Few studies evaluated quality of life, but half of those were favourable to ACT. We also focused our analysis on ACT online interventions, considering the current demands due to the COVID-19 pandemic.ConclusionsThe current systematic review points in favour of ACT for the management of chronic pain conditions, though the studies included suffered from methodological limitations, which may have led to overestimated effects. Methodologically robust trials are required to further understand the clinical efficacy of ACT for chronic pain and which patients most benefit from this intervention.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is one of the major counseling theories today. However, reliability of this theory has received criticism from other theories, which claim to cognitive interventions do not provide added value on behavioral interventions. The theory criticized and showed dissatisfaction with the practice of CBT is the theory of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Furthermore, ACT is known to a new generation of CBT.ACT is one of the new counseling approach that can be applied to school counselors to deal with the issues of students in the school.

In order to define the future, it is seen that the psychological support approaches that return to the past are replaced by the approaches that return to the essence. As the power of change that one can find in the essence; The combination of heart, mind and spirit is emphasized. Combining ACT and spiritual practice, this association contains two important concepts: awareness and acceptance. It is thought that integration of spirituality will contribute to the concepts presented by the Act against the inevitability of unwanted thoughts and experiences. The aim of this study is to provide a general framework for cooperation between ACT and spirituality.

Abstract:

Objective: This study tested the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), compared with Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy (CBT), in alleviating academic procrastination. Method: A total of 60 (53.3% male) undergraduates suffering from academic procrastination were randomly assigned to two treatment groups (ACT and CBT) and a control group. The procrastination symptoms and related psychological mechanisms were assessed immediately after the closure of treatment and at 3-month follow-up (FU). Results: Both therapies showed remarkable short-term effects in decreasing procrastination, but ACT had a better long-term effect. Participants achieved self-esteem enhancement through treatment of both ACT and CBT. While ACT significantly decreased negative affect and improved neuroticism, CBT had a stronger effect on time management. Conclusion: The findings suggest that both CBT and ACT are effective interventions for procrastinators but may have different therapeutic mechanisms.

Abstract:

The objective of the study was to describe whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was effective for the care of women living in a situation of intimate partner violence. A search was made in virtual libraries: Google Scholar, Redalyc, Scielo, Dialnet. The inclusion criteria focused on research on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) addressing victims of intimate partner violence in the last ten years. Protocols and interventions on women who experience intimate partner violence and men who generate it, treated from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in conjunction with other models such as Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation (BA) and Functional Analytical Psychotherapy (FAP) were found. It was concluded that although there is little evidence of the results, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of postraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety.

Abstract:

Interventions for men who perpetrate intimate partner violence (IPV) have historically been relatively ineffective at reducing or stopping subsequent IPV. However, there are several strong theoretical reasons that suggest Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an intervention that emphasizes the use of mindfulness and aims to foster psychological flexibility, may be particularly well-suited to interrupting the factors that maintain IPV. The goal of the present article is to review the evidence for the application of ACT to target IPV. In addition, empirical studies that have, to date, shown promising initial support for a targeted intervention (Achieving Change Through Values-Based Behavior; ACTV) are reviewed. The implications for using ACT-based skills with perpetrators of IPV are discussed, along with potential future directions and further applications of ACT to hard-to-treat populations.

Abstract:

Although shame is a detrimental emotional state often found in a variety of mental health concerns, treatment approaches for addressing it are scarce. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based treatment practice that has been effective in several applications, including the treatment of shame (Hayes, Luoma, Bond, Masuda, & Lillis, 2006; Luoma, Kohlenberg, Hayes, & Fletcher, 2011). ACT focuses on the development of six core skills for increasing client psychological flexibility. The article presents primary ACT techniques, case studies, and considerations for counselors.

Abstract:

This study examined the transdiagnostic effect of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on impulsive decision-making in a community sample. A total of 40 adults were randomized to eight individual sessions of ACT or an inactive control. Participants completed pre-, mid-, and post-assessments for psychological symptoms; overall behavior change; valued living; delay discounting; psychological flexibility; and distress tolerance. Data were analyzed with multilevel modeling of growth curves. Significant interaction effects of time and condition were observed for psychological flexibility, distress tolerance, psychological symptoms, and the obstruction subscale of valued living. No significant interaction effect was found for two delay discounting tasks nor the progress subscale of valued living. The ACT condition had a significantly larger reduction of problem behavior at post-assessment. The results support use of ACT as a transdiagnostic treatment for impulsive behaviors. The lack of change in delay discounting contrasts previous research.

Abstract:

Children with Special Needs are children with disabilities in the development of life due to disruption (mental, intellectual, emotional, social, physical) in the social-social, career, and academic fields, so they need special services and are different from children in general. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to increase the self-acceptance of educators towards Children with Special Needs. This study uses an experimental approach to the design of one group pretest-posttest. The study was conducted on teachers who are members of the HIMPAUDI Sleman District, who were randomly selected and obtained as many as 27 teachers. Data analysis was performed using the T-Test technique. Based on the results of the study, it appears that the self-acceptance of educators towards Children with Special Needs before and after the training on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) increases, but the increase is less significant. Conclusion The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) program is less effective in improving the self-acceptance of educators towards Children with Special Needs. Based on these results, it needs to be followed up with direct assistance or assistance in schools for educators who systematically help Children with Special Needs.

Abstract Background Recent developments within cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) have emphasized the utility of acceptance and mindfulness strategies, contrasting interventions focused on reduction or control of symptoms. A study of fMRI changes after CBT in females with fibromyalgia (FM) has been performed and results are presented elsewhere (under review). The aim of the present study was evaluate the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based intervention for patient diagnosed with FM in comparison with a wait-list control Method Female patients aged 18–55 years, fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for FM, and with a weekly self-reported average pain intensity of >40 (VAS 0–100) were considered eligible for inclusion. Participants completed a set of questionnaires prior to treatment, immediately following the treatment and at follow 3–4 months post treatment. Primary outcome variable was pain disability (PDI). FIQ, SF36, SES, STAI, pain intensity, BDI, PIPS (psychological inflexibility in pain scale) were also used. The ACT-intervention consisted of twelve weekly group sessions, ten with psychologist and two with pain physician. Treatment was evaluated and mediation analyses were performed. Results Primary outcome measure (PDI): A significant improvement in pain disability for ACT in relation to the control condition, p < 0.001. Secondary outcome measures: ACT showed significant improvement in mental health quality of life, self-efficacy, depression, and anxiety. Consistent with hypotheses, ACT did not result in significant changes in either physical quality of life or pain intensity. Mediation analyses: A decrease in psychological inflexibility from pre to post assessments significantly mediated the improvement in pain disability. Conclusion The present study supports the utility of using a relatively brief ACT intervention in a group format for women diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and data suggests a mediating function on improvements in psychological flexibility.

Abstract:

Cognitive therapy (CT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) have been shown to be effective in treating depression. Although integrating ACT with CT is used for the treatment of anxiety, there is a paucity of integrated CT and ACT treatments for depression and/or dysthymia. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of integrating CT and ACT into a manualized group therapy treatment for depression and/or dysthymia. Over a period of 2 years, 4 consecutive groups were held at a community clinic, with 24 completing the 15-week treatment. Posttreatment and follow-up data revealed satisfaction with the treatment, significant decreases in depression severity, and significant increases in quality of life over the 5 time points. The results support the acceptability and feasibility of a manualized integrated CT/ACT group therapy program for depression and dysthymia.

Abstract:

The prevalence of anxiety disorder in Indonesia increases significantly every year. It is worth special attention, especially in facing the uncertainty during pandemic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is one of the third-wave cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), usually used for anxiety disorder treatment. In this research, I want to examine the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to decrease the level of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), taking General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Geriatic Anxiety Inventory (GAI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), as the standard. It uses a meta-analysis techniques processed by statdirect trial version 2.0. It involves 17 experimental journals of ACT and GAD (n experiment group = 574; n control group = 513). The assessment of ACT and GAD bases itself on random effect size (I2 = 83.3%), without any publication bias (-3.88). The result shows that ACT is still effective to decrease the level of GAD (d= -.66; medium effect size). The result concludes that the ACT needs the assistance from other interventions. It also suggests research replication to multiply the references related to the effectiveness of ACT.

Abstract:

Introduction: Due to scarring, appearance anxiety is a common psychological difficulty in patients accessing burns services. Appearance anxiety can significantly impact upon social functioning and quality of life; thus, the availability of effective psychological therapies is vital. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is considered useful for treating distress associated with other health conditions and may lend itself well to appearance anxiety. However, no published research is currently available. Methods: Three single case studies (two male burns patients; one female necrotising fasciitis patient) are presented where appearance anxiety was treated using ACT. A treatment protocol was followed and evaluated: the Derriford Appearance Scale measured appearance anxiety; the Work and Social Adjustment Scale measured impairment in functioning; the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire measured acceptance (willingness to open up to distressing internal experiences); and the Committed Action Questionnaire measured engagement in meaningful and valued life activities. Measures were given at every treatment session and patient feedback was obtained. One-month follow-up data were available for two cases. Results: After the intervention, all patients had reduced functional impairment and were living more valued and meaningful lives. No negative effects were found. Discussion: These case studies suggest that ACT may be a useful psychological therapy for appearance anxiety. The uncontrolled nature of the intervention limits the conclusions that can be drawn. Conclusion: A pilot feasibility study to evaluate the effectiveness of ACT for appearance anxiety is warranted. Lay Summary Many patients with scars can feel distressed about their appearance. This is known as appearance anxiety and can include patients accessing burns services. Appearance anxiety can stop patients from enjoying a good quality of life and impact upon important areas of daily functioning. It is therefore important that psychological therapies are effective. However, research investigating the effectiveness of psychological therapies is limited. This paper describes the psychological therapy of three patients who were distressed about scarring. A psychological therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was used as part of standard care and evaluated using questionnaires and patient feedback. After the course of ACT, all patients were less impacted day-to-day by their appearance anxiety and were living more valued and meaningful lives. No negative effects were found. These case studies suggest that ACT may be a useful psychological therapy for appearance anxiety and further research evaluating it should be completed.

Abstract:

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a third-generation therapy that relates to human suffering as an inherent part of life in the human condition. Concerning personal values, ACT is focused on the acceptance of suffering, by doing away with the avoidance of things that cause us discomfort.The goal of the therapy is to make a person's reactions to suffering more flexible, working with the role of the symptoms rather than with the eliminating the symptoms themselves.This paper shows how the application of this therapy to a person with generalized anxiety disorder helps to reduce symptoms such as uncontrollable worrying, lack of concentration and muscular tension that these patients often suffer. The modification of symptoms has been measured by a single case study, where the symptoms are assessed by questionnaires before and after the treatment's application. Diagnosis was made according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders’ (DSM-IV) criteria.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

BackgroundPaediatric chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is disabling and relatively common. Although evidenced-based treatments are available, at least 15% of children remain symptomatic after one year of treatment. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is an alternative therapy option; however, little is known about whether it is an acceptable treatment approach. Our aim was to find out if adolescents who remain symptomatic with CFS/ME after 12 months of treatment would find ACT acceptable, to inform a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of ACT.MethodsWe recruited adolescents (diagnosed with CFS/ME; not recovered after one year of treatment; aged 11–17 years), their parent/carer and healthcare professionals (HCPs) from one specialist UK paediatric CFS/ME service. We conducted semi-structured interviews to explore barriers to recovery; views on current treatments; acceptability of ACT; and feasibility of an effectiveness RCT. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns in data.ResultsTwelve adolescents, eleven parents and seven HCPs were interviewed. All participants thought ACT was acceptable. Participants identified reasons why ACT might be efficacious: pragmatism, acceptance and compassion are valued in chronic illness; values-focussed treatment provides motivation and direction; psychological and physical needs are addressed; normalising difficulties is a useful life-skill. Some adolescents preferred ACT to cognitive behavioural therapy as it encouraged accepting (rather than challenging) thoughts. Most adolescents would consent to an RCT of ACT but a barrier to recruitment was reluctance to randomisation. All HCPs deemed ACT feasible to deliver. Some were concerned patients might confuse ‘acceptance’ with ‘giving up’ and called for clear explanations. All participants thought the timing of ACT should be individualised.ConclusionsAll adolescents with CFS/ME, parents and HCPs thought ACT was acceptable, and most adolescents were willing to try ACT. An RCT needs to solve issues around randomisation and timing of the intervention.

Abstract:

Bencana alam menjadi bagian yang tidak terpisahkan bagi masyarakat Indonesia mulai dari gempa bumi, tsunami, tanah longsor, banjir, dan bencana lainnya. Bencana ini menimbulkan dampak psikologis yang sangat besar berupa trauma dan stress pada individu, keluarga dan masyarakat. Gangguan stress pasca trauma (PTSD) merupakan reaksi maladaptif yang berkelanjutan terhadap suatu pengalaman traumatis yang dapat diderita berbulan-bulan bahkan bertahun-tahun. Kondisi demikian akan menurunkan kualitas hidup bagi penderitanya dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Oleh karena itu, salah satu penanganannya dengan menggunakan terapi ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy). Terapi ini merupakan terapi keperilakuan (behavioral) yang relatif baru dikembangkan dan digunakan untuk mengurangi perilaku menghindar atau melarikan diri dari pikiran-pikiran, emosi dan memori mengenai peristiwa-peristiwa yang traumatic. Perilaku menghindar ini kemudian digantikan dengan perilaku menerima peristiwa traumatis dan membuat komitmen untuk mengubah/ memperbaiki perilaku sesuai dengan tujuan-tujuan hidup klien. Tujuan akhr dari terapi ACT tidak hanya sekedar menghilangkan gejala-gejala trauma akan tetapi meningkatkan kualitas hidup klien di masa mendatang. Adapun tujuan artikel penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan gambaran mengenai terapi ACT (Acceptance and Commitent Therapy), dan manfaatnya bagi penderita gangguan stress pasca bencana.
