ACT Exceeds Over 1000 Randomized Controlled Trials

As of December 2022, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy reached an important milestone. ACT, which began about 40 years ago, now has over 1000 randomized controlled studies. These studies found ACT to be an effective intervention for almost every possible human problem across all corners of the globe. Many of the studies were in diverse communities and cultures that have often been ignored in traditional psychological science. In the New Year, I am particularly grateful for the decades of hard work from these clinicians and researchers have put towards alleviating human suffering. Thank you, and cheers to ongoing improvement in effective mental health care.
