Supporting Psychological Flexibility with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/Treatment
Dr. John Molteni
Description: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/Treatment is an approach to addressing higher-order concept formation and psychological flexibility. As a therapeutic approach, it offers a focus on individual values as a guide for behavior change and a process for differentiating thoughts and emotions from the person (e.g., I am experiencing anger vs. I am angry). In this presentation, we will discuss various applications of ACT across intervention contexts.
