Vivir con atención plena consiste en mantener la actitud de estar en contacto con el mundo, abierto a lo que se experimenta en cada instante, dirigiendo la atención de forma consciente a lo que se hace en cada momento, y llevarlo a cabo de forma similar a la de un niño que contempla por primera vez un espectáculo sorprendente, sin juzgarlo, valorarlo, cuestionarlo, criticarlo… sin compararlo con vivencias del pasado, sin preocuparse por lo que suceder&…

Most third-wave behavior therapies and, more specifically, Behavioral Activation (BA), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), have proposed alternatives for intervention for intrusive thoughts, painful memories, unpleasant daydreams or ruminative depressive discourses.

In this paper we present the adaptation of the Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale (BADS), developed by Kanter, Mulick, Busch, Berlin, and Martell (2007), in a Spanish sample. The psychometric properties were tested in a sample of 263 participants (124 clinical and 139 non-clinical). The results show that, just as in the original English version, the Spanish BADS is a valid and internally consistent scale.

The present study aims to analyze the interactions involved in some of the Defusion exercises that are typical of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy according to a Relational Frame Theory analysis. Two protocols were compared. Defusion I protocol was built with deictic framing trials while Defusion II protocol added hierarchical framing plus the function of regulating one’s own behavior.
