Abstract:

Personal values represent an integral component in Acceptance and CommitmentTherapy (ACT), an acceptance-based modern behavioral psychotherapy. Many other psychologicalapproaches have held values to be central to living life. This paper compares andcontrasts ACT's approach to values with four other approaches: client-centered therapy,Motivational Interviewing, positive psychology, and radical behaviorism. The ACT model isdescribed as well as the role of values within that model, and brief clinical examples are providedto illustrate how the ACT approach to values may be used in practice.
