Resources for Learning More About ACT (Academics)
ACT is a psychological intervention based on modern behavioral psychology, that applies mindfulness and behavior change processes as a means of increasing psychological flexibility and vitality. ACT research with adults has demonstrated this treatment can achieve positive long-term outcomes for a range of problems, including depression, anxiety, psychosis, chronic pain, work stress, stigma and burn-out (S. C. Hayes et al., 2006; S. C. Hayes, Masuda, Bissett, Luoma, & Guerrero, 2004). ACT has recently been listed as an evidenced based treatment by the US National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP). Click here for more information. It is also listed as a research supported psychological treatment for depression and chronic pain by the American Psychological Association. Click here for more information.
