There is an emerging emphasis in clinical psychology on developing transdiagnostic models and interventions that apply to a range of disorders. Psychological Flexibility-Based Interventions, the transdiagnostic processes that inform Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, targets processes of change and increase the ability of the individual to behave and respond in ways that help move them into a life of vitality. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) contains six core behavioral processes for change that can be utilized by both practitioner and client. This session will highlight how clinicians can use the ACT model and language to synthesize and target psychological flexibility-based interventions in their current practice.
