Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a contextual and mindfulness‐based psychotherapy that falls under the larger umbrella of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The use of ACT alone for treating obsessive compulsive (OC)‐spectrum disorders has been examined in two studies. The first employed ACT with five participants who met criteria for chronic skin‐picking using a multiple‐baseline across participants design. At posttreatment four of the five participants had reached near‐zero levels of skin‐picking; however, only one participant retained these levels at a 3‐month follow‐up. The second study used the same protocol, but examined ACT as a treatment for problematic internet pornography viewing. Habit reversal training is the most recommended treatment for several OC‐spectrum behaviors. Some researchers have similarly noticed internal experiences as separate barriers to treatment success and have tested a dialectical behavior therapy enhanced version of HRT with success.
