SummaryResearchers such as Hayes and Strosahl (2005) define Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as an empirical intervention technique derived from the cognitive behavioral model of psychotherapy which employs methods of mindfulness and acceptance mixed in various ways. Grounded in the practical concept of functional contextualism and based on the holistic idea of ​​language and cognition, ACT is different from normal or traditional cognitive behavioral therapy. The differences manifest in the paradigm that, instead of teaching people to control their emotions, ACT teaches them to recognize, accept, and embrace emotions and/or feelings (Hayes, Louma, Bond, Masuda, & Lillis, 2006 ). Primarily, Western traditions operate under the assumption of “healthy normality,” that humans are naturally psychologically healthy; However, ACT maintains that the "so-called" normal human mind is volatile and destructive. The central concept of ACT is that psychological suffering is caused by experiential avoidance, cognitive disorder and psychological rigidity that lead to dysfunctions in taking necessary behavioral actions in accordance with core values ​​(Hayes et al, 2006 ). There are six core values ​​in the ACT Model and they are used with the overall goal of improving and increasing psychological flexibility, which is the ability to fully contact the here and now as a fully complete person and to adapt and to persist in one's behavior until the desired result is obtained (Hayes, et al., 2006). The first value is acceptance, which involves actively and knowingly accepting personal and/or private events from an individual's past without attempting to change them. The next value is cognitive defusion is...... middle of article...... therapy, 44, pp. 415-437. Harris, R. (August 2006). Embracing Your Demons: An Overview of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
