Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy based on behavioral therapy, specifically Relational Frame Theory (RFT). ACT's two main components, mindfulness and behavioral change, are focused on living a life aligned with one's values ​​and chosen goals.


In other words, the therapeutic part of ACT can be said to be the process of mindfulness and acceptance, and the process of commitment and behavior change.
Mindfulness and acceptance-commitment-based approaches are already recognized as evidence-based and empirically supported.
The first book to best provide such a solid theoretical and practical framework is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: A Practical Guide.

Comprehensive of the theory and practice of ACT, this book is comprised of three parts and 14 chapters. It is a well-written text with contributions from 26 experts, including ACT co-founders Hayes and Strosahl. It is a must-read for practitioners seeking to apply ACT.
