Abstract :
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is the third wave of behaviour therapy, it is an innovative acceptance-based behavior therapy that has been applied broadly and successfully to treat a variety of clinical problems, including the anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders are the most widespread cause of distress among individuals seeking treatment from mental health services. However, despite the prevalence of research on effective therapeutic interventions and their promising outcomes, significant shortcomings remain. In response to these drawbacks, a novel treatment, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), was developed in an attempt to reformulate the conceptualization and treatment of anxiety disorders.
