Abstract
The current study examined the effects of an individual acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) protocol in three young adults with topographically different, but functionally similar, behavioral health concerns. Using a concurrent multiple baseline design across participants ( N = 3), clinically relevant target behaviors were collected daily as primary outcome measures. In addition, weekly self-report assessment of potential process variables and an assessment package at pretreatment, midpoint, posttreatment, and 3-month follow-up were used to evaluate process and outcomes of treatment. Results provided tentative support for ACT’s efficacy, with effects being most pronounced in Participants 2 and 3 with slight improvements in clinically relevant target behaviors. This study adds to the literature concerning process-based approaches to treatment by highlighting how ACT can be tailored to the needs of individuals with diverse behavioral health concerns.
