Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Purpose (APA Division 12, 2022)
By accepting and learning to live with pain, one can limit the control it exerts over their life
Why does ACT work? (APA Division 12, 2022)
Guides individuals to change their expectations from the elimination of pain to living as well as possible with pain. Through metaphors and experiential exercises, individuals learn the futility of control-oriented strategies and the benefits of acceptance-oriented strategies in response to negative internal experiences such as pain and discomfort. Individuals are encouraged to explore their personal values and set goals consistent with those values in order to improve overall quality of life and functioning
What are some outcome measures for ACT? (APA Division 12, 2022)
-Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale (PIPS)
