Group Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for chronic pain: The effects of process variables
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a group acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT) intervention for patients with chronic pain in comparison to a control group receiving treatment as usual. We also tried to examine whether pain acceptance and pain catastrophizing mediates the outcome of treatment.

Background
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a demanding condition for both adolescents and their parents. The first aim of this study was to investigate the acceptability of an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) group intervention for 12–16-year-old adolescents with T1D. The second aim was to investigate how adolescents whose glycemic control improved during the intervention differed from those who did not improve.
Running acceptance and commitment therapy groups for psychosis in community settings
In this paper, we discuss the practice implications of our group Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for psychosis (ACTp) evaluations, in terms of the adaptations required to ACT interventions for group implementation in routine services for people with psychosis. ACTp shows promise as a brief individual intervention for people with psychosis to improve recovery, reduce future relapse, and reduce healthcare costs.
