Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a behavioral model of psychotherapy. It is transdiagnostic and its evidence-base is robust. For example, its efficacy has been demonstrated in more than 1,000 randomized controlled trials across a range of clinical problem areas, including substance use disorders. In this webinar, participants will be introduced to the foundations of the ACT approach, including its central theoretical ideas and clinical procedures. Particular focus will be given to an ACT intervention strategy for addictive behavior.
Objectives: At the conclusion of this webinar participants will be able to:
- Define psychological flexibility and name and describe its six components.
- Conceptualize addictive behavior from an ACT perspective.
- Describe at least two ACT-based clinical interventions.
