Abstract

Reports the use of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in the case of a 17-yr-old adolescent male with schizophrenic psychosis. S's auditory hallucinations were interpreted as episodes of experiential avoidance. The opportunities provided by ACT in cases of psychotic symptoms are contrasted with the problems of applying it in a context dominated by a medical model of psychotic phenomena.
