Integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with other interventions

Abstract

Abstract Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intersects with other evidence-based therapies: exposure therapy, behavioral activation, attachment-based work, behavioral parenting interventions, and postnatal care. Within this chapter each of these interventions—parenting intervention, postnatal care intervention, exposure therapy, and behavioral activation—is discussed from an ACT perspective . In particular, an in-depth look at a novel and ACT-consistent approach to postnatal care including parent–infant sleep will be examined with a case study exploring how ACT can be used in conjunction with a novel psycho-educational approach to parent–infant sleep.
