ABSTRACT

ACT employs a broad range of values interventions, including conversations about life goals and aspirations, in-depth writing exercises, experiential and exposure work, activity scheduling, and the use of standardized values-assessment tools. Whichever methods are used, the development of clients' values-based action skills typically includes the following key steps:

1 Clarifying values. 2 Values-based goal setting and action planning. 3 Building larger and more persistent patterns of committed

action.
