Acceptance and Commitment Training for reducing inflexible behaviors in children with autism
2019, Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceCitation Excerpt :As parents learned new skills, the number and intensity of child behavior problems decreased, and most improvements were maintained at six months. A recent systematic review of the literature (Swain, Hancock, Hainsworth, & Bowman, 2013) found 21 studies in which ACT was employed with children displaying a variety of presenting problems such as impulsivity (Luciano, Herruzo, & Barnes-Holmes, 2001), sexualized behavior (Metzler, Biglan, Noell, Ary, & Ochs, 2000), and trichotillomania (Fine, Walther, Joseph, Robinson, & Ricketts, 2012). Of these, only Fine and colleagues used a time series design and reported on individual participant behavior.
An Abstinence and Safer Sex Intervention for Adolescents Attending the Public Sexually Transmitted Infection Clinic in Singapore
2018, Journal of Adolescent HealthAcceptance and Commitment Therapy for children: A systematic review of intervention studies
2015, Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceCitation Excerpt :These included two RCTs (Hayes, Boyd, & Sewell, 2011; Metzler, Biglan, Noell, Ary, & Ochs, 2000) and one between-group study (Franklin, Best, Wilson, Loew, & Compton, 2011). The utility of a behaviour therapy programme (including ACT approaches) vs TAU (psychoeducation) for 339 adolescents with high risk sexualised behaviour was examined in one study (Metzler et al., 2000). At 3-month follow-up, in contrast to predictions, ACT participants engaged in greater frequency of sex than TAU participants.
Applications and adaptations of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for adolescents
2015, Journal of Contextual Behavioral ScienceCitation Excerpt :Modifications to the treatment protocol may encourage adolescents to participate and facilitate their retention. For example, in one study of adolescents with STDs, the researchers minimized parental involvement to augment participant confidentiality, thus potentially encouraging adolescents to feel comfortable participating in the study (Metzler et al., 2000). Hayes et al. (2011) suggested that clinicians interview clients in the home or online to maximize convenience.
