Understanding Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Youth - 28/07/25
Résumé |
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a promising new treatment approach for transdiagnostic youth mental health concerns. ACT has been extensively researched in adult populations. However, significantly less evidence is available for children and adolescents. This article presents the available evidence on ACT for youth, with a special emphasis placed on the potential benefits for utilizing ACT during developmental years. Recommended adaptations to ACT for youth are identified and compared to ACT for adults. Given the growing body of research supporting ACT as a transdiagnostic psychotherapy for youth, future research directions in treatment efficacy, effectiveness, and dissemination research are discussed.
