Introduction
Working mothers with small child face work and life difficulties and show low psychological well-being (PWB).

Objectives
This randomized controlled trial aimed to examine the effectiveness of a newly developed, fully automated internet-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (iACT) program, ‘Happiness Mom,’ on improving Ryff's PWB of working mothers with a preschool child.

We examined the effect of a brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based intervention for eighteen parents of children with autism compared to a matched randomized control group.

Behavioral parent training is a critical component of treatment for children with autism, however, engaging parents effectively can be challenging. Despite evidence that private events can strongly influence parent behavior and training outcomes, the topic has received minimal attention in the behavioral literature thus far. Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) is a contemporary behavioral approach to increasing adaptive, flexible repertoires of behavior, by reducing control by problematic rule-deriving and rule-following. This study is the first to examine the effects of ACT on values-directed overt behavior in parents of children with ASD.
