Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Psychosis
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the development of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for the treatment of clients presenting with symptoms of psychosis. Application of acceptance- and mindfulness-based techniques is discussed in depth, and a detailed case example is provided for illustration of using ACT. The clinical research on ACT for psychosis and basic research on a functional contextual approach to understanding symptoms of psychosis, including delusions and hallucinations, are also reviewed. The chapter concludes with suggested future directions for research.

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.
