Imagine a therapy that makes no attempt to reduce symptoms, but gets symptom reduction as a by-product. A therapy firmly based in the tradition of empirical science, yet has a major emphasis on values, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, living in the present moment, and accessing a transcendent sense of self. A therapy so hard to classify that it has been described as an "existential humanistic cognitive behavioral therapy."

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as "ACT" (pronounced as the word "act") is a mindfulness-based behavioral therapy that challenges the ground rules of most Western psychology. It utilizes an eclectic mix of metaphor, paradox, and mindfulness skills, along with a wide range of experiential exercises and values-guided behavioral interventions. ACT has proven effective with a diverse range of clinical conditions: depression, OCD, workplace stress, chronic pain, the stress of terminal cancer, anxiety, PTSD, anorexia, heroin abuse, marijuana abuse, and even schizophrenia.

The Science of Psychology has grown and flourished very rapidly in the twentieth century and especially in the previous few decades. Ever since, the subject has proposed many techniques and interventions in the field of mental health. "Behaviorism" as a prominent school of thought in Psychology has given birth to many such interventions. The first and the second wave therapies originating from the very constructs of behaviorism have been known for their enormous positive effects on people. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is an example of such interventions that have helped a lot of people in dealing with mental health issues. CBT has paved the way for many third wave therapies, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (a.k.a ACT), is one of such therapies.  

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides the skills of mindfulness to help people live and act in a way that is compatible with personal values while improving their psychological flexibility. ACT using practitioners help individuals recognize how challenges are created by their attempts to suppress, manage, and control emotional experiences. By recognizing these challenges and addressing them, individuals can become better able to make room for actions based on values that support well-being.
