Introduction to acceptance and commitment therapy
Overview
This paper introduces Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a principle-driven descendant of cognitive-behavioural therapy that addresses psychopathology through the lens of narrowing behavioural repertoires. It outlines six core components designed to combine acceptance, mindfulness, commitment, and behavioural change to enhance psychological flexibility. The resource notes that since its introduction in 1999, trials have shown promising results for various clinical conditions.
