A Pilot Study Examining the Effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as Parent Counseling
Overview
This pilot study evaluates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a counseling intervention for parents of children aged 3–18 with psychiatric problems. The uncontrolled research involved 101 parents and measured outcomes such as psychological flexibility, parenting behavior, and parental psychopathology at pretreatment, posttreatment, and six-month follow-up intervals. While the authors report statistically significant improvements in several areas, they note that these changes did not reach clinical significance according to Reliable Change Index calculations.
