This research represents a unified model (FACT) based on functional contextualism. As pilot study, we present the application with two workers with relational and emotional problems between them. We use a single-case design measuring pre, post and follow-up after six months. The assessment was made with various questionnaires and direct measurement of clinically relevant behaviors. The total intervention was carried out individually for a month and a half. The results revealed improvements in both employees about their personal and professional relationships, and also appearing generalisation with improvements in other areas (intimacy, personal relationships, family, friends). The study has implications by highlighting the importance of behavioral analysis or problems in work relationships, and by showing that the integration of contextual therapies can produce rapid results in non-clinical situations.

In theory, pliance should produce lower levels of contingency sensitivity compared to tracking, but how this effect relates to nonclinical populations is unclear. This study (<em>n</em> = 134) tested the relationship between contingency sensitivity in pliance and tracking through a Matching-to-Sample task, while incorporating a measure of depressive symptomatology to test if a distinction in insensitivity would be seen in nondepressed participants. Results indicated that pliance was associated with lower levels of contingency sensitivity relative to tracking overall, and that depressive symptomatology did not influence this.

Self-help interventions are promising as they offer a cost-effective solution and can be widely accessible, but no study has yet directly compared different formats of ACT self-help for chronic pain. Furthermore, most studies conducted so far have not compared to an active control condition. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of guided self-help interventions (internet-delivered, bibliotherapy) based on ACT in comparison to an education intervention among adults from the community living with chronic pain. Participants (N = 297) were randomly assigned to an internet-delivered ACT condition, an ACT-based bibliotherapy condition, or an active control condition receiving education on pain through online pamphlets. Participants completed questionnaires at baseline, after the 9-week intervention, and at 3- and 6-month follow-ups. The primary outcome was pain disability at post-intervention and secondary outcomes were depression, anxiety, and quality of life. Results of mixed linear models showed statistically significant main effects of time for pain disability (<em>F</em> = 15.15, <em>p</em> = 0.000), depression (<em>F</em> = 6.82, <em>p</em> = 0.000), anxiety (<em>F</em> = 4.88, <em>p</em> = 0.003) and quality of life (<em>F</em> = 6.85, <em>p</em> = 0.000) for all three interventions.

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of ACT compared to other active interventions in terms of treatment completion, addiction-related outcomes, and changes in psychological flexibility. Searches were conducted in PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Four random-effects meta-analyses were conducted to assess the effectiveness of ACT in terms of completion rates and abstinence at the end of treatment (EOT), in the short term (≤6 months follow-up), and in the long term (&gt;6-month follow-up). Participants’ sex and age, the number of ACT sessions, the characteristics of the experimental condition (i.e., ACT combined with pharmacological intervention or non-combined) and the comparison condition (i.e., ACT compared to cognitive-behavioral therapy [CBT] or non-CBT interventions), treatment modality (face-to-face or technology-based approaches), and the targeted addictive behavior were examined as moderators. A total of 28 studies were included in the systematic review and 22 in the meta-analysis. There were no differences in EOT completion rates (Log RR = 0.0038; 95% CI: −0.026, 0.034). ACT increased the odds of abstinence at EOT (Log RR = 0.264; 95% CI: 0.046, 0.482) and at short-term follow-up (Log RR = 0.295; 95% CI: 0.108, 0.483), but not in the long term (Log RR = 0.164; 95% CI: −0.101, 0.430). ACT demonstrated higher abstinence rates than CBT conditions at EOT (<em>p</em> = 0.002). A lower age increased abstinence rates in the short (<em>p</em> = 0.004) and long term (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.001), whereas a greater number of ACT sessions increased long-term abstinence rates (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.001). ACT is an effective approach for promoting short-term abstinence. In the long term, it is at least as effective as other empirically validated therapies, such as CBT.

The Parental Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (PAAQ) is a context-specific instrument for the measurement of parental psychological inflexibility. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the original composite version of the 19-item PAAQ across the three distinct Swedish samples; a community sample (n = 1018), a clinical sample of treatment-seeking parents of children with disabilities (n = 667), and a test-retest sample (n = 337). The Principal Axis Factoring of the PAAQ in the community sample yielded a 16-item, three-factor solution: 1) action-taking and flexibility in the parenting context, 2) experiential acceptance of internal experiences related to parenting, and 3) experiential acceptance of child's internal experiences.

The associations observed with related constructs (<em>r</em> = between 0.49 and 0.61, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.0001) indicated good discriminant validity.
