FACT: The Utility of an Integration of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Alleviate Human Suffering.
Abstract
Functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are 2 contemporary behavioral therapies designed to address complex clinical problems. The 2 therapies are described, and areas of convergence and divergence are discussed. A new psychotherapy integrating the 2—functional-analytic acceptance and commitment therapy (FACT)—is defined. It is argued that FACT enhances the utility of FAP or ACT alone by expanding the target of therapy to include both interpersonal and intrapersonal client behaviors. In

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
