Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Psychosis
Overview
This paper by Pankey and Hayes discusses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as an alternative to pharmacological or traditional psychosocial treatments for individuals with psychotic symptoms who continue to experience positive symptoms despite medication. The authors argue that directly attempting to reduce these symptoms can have paradoxical effects, proposing instead a focus on acceptance, cognitive defusion, and values-based action. The resource outlines the ACT procedure, summarizes its results for this population, and includes a brief case example of a cognitively impaired individual.
