Based on scientific evidences about more common psychological disorders produced after a sexual assault, a reconceptualization of them as forms of 'experiential avoidance' is proposed. More used intervention techniques applied in the field of victimology are analyzed. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is proposed as an alternative treatment, which is presented in its fundamental aspects. Finally, possible contributions of the therapy to victimology are considered.

The current theoretical study provides an overview of the contextualfunctional approaches to private events in general and to pain in particular, making use of the recent research in verbal behaviour, behaviour-behaviour relations and derivation of psychological functions.

The aim of this study was to assess the differential effectiveness of two psychological intervention techniques, hypnosis and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), for improving physical performance. Participants were 16 high-level canoeists. All subjects' degree of suggestibility was assessed.

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.

In recent years, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has gained ground as a radical behaviorist conceptual alternative to cognitive-behavioral models of anxiety disorders, as a theory that considers psychological problems as a set of socio-cultural practices in context. With this in mind, we present a case study illustrating the application of ACT in a male user diagnosed as suffering from panic disorder with agoraphobia.

The authors, researchers at the national Universityof Ireland and Leiden University, based their study on previous research that had shown that training of match-to-sample tasks with AB compounds as samples and unitary C stimuli as comparisons (AB-C) leads to novel tasks with interchangeable stimulus elements: C-AB, AC-B, and BC-A (e.g., Markham & Dougher, 1993).
