ACT'S DEFINITION
“
The objective of ACT is not the eradication of uncomfortable and burdensome feelings and emotions that is why it differs from CBT which helps people to learn how to control their cognitions, emotions, and behavior. ACT formulize psychological sufferings by the interface between language and cognition mediated by psychological inflexibility. ACT tries to move us toward “valued behavior”.
In Act, you learn to open up to unpleasant feelings as well as not to overact to them. You should also not avoid situations where unpleasant feelings are invoked. Feeling better spirally leads to a better understanding of the truth. Here, truth equals “workability”. How can we step forward to what matters? “What matters” in terms of values and meaning. Steven C. Hayes developed acceptance and commitment therapy in 1982. It is based on B. F. Skinner’s philosophy of Radical Behaviorism
ACT is a generic therapy for a wide spectrum of problems. It considers the core of many problems represented in the acronym FEAR.
