Dr. Moran explains how ACT is a research-based intervention that integrates mindfulness and behavioral strategies to increase psychological flexibility.

In this presentation, Dr. D. J. Moran introduces Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a third wave therapy that is empirically-based and has a transdiagnostic approach. It integrates a mindfulness focus and behavior change strategies to increase psychological flexibility.

Here are some highlights we’ve extracted from this video:

- As it has a transdiagnostic approach, ACT has shown efficacy in treating psychological concerns such as anxiety, psychosis, depression, substance abuse, and many other clinical issues.
- It also positively impacts subclinical issues, such as work productivity, sports performance, and academic achievement.
