Effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Training on Clinical Psychology Trainee Stress, Therapist Skills and Attributes, and ACT Processes
Overview
This study examines how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) training impacts stress, skills, and psychological processes among clinical psychology trainees. The research involved thirty-two trainees who completed twelve weekly workshops and reported improvements in self-efficacy, mindfulness, and acceptance, alongside a trend toward increased work-related stress. The findings suggest that acquiring ACT processes is associated with better personal and professional outcomes for these trainees.
