Effects of Acceptance-Commitment Therapy (ACT) on Mental Health of Inpatients with Alcohol Dependence
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Acceptance-Commitment Therapy (ACT) on mental health of inpatients with alcohol dependence. The study was designed so that the therapy focused on the theory that alcohol use and its pathology are primarily caused by experiential avoidance, which is the tendency not to experience unwanted private events. ACT has core components including acceptance, cognitive defusion, self as context, being present, values, and committed action. We expected the effects on mental health factors to not only increase acceptance-commitment but also to change psychological well-being and pattern of alcohol use. Twelve inpatients with alcohol dependence were in the ACT group and 12 participants were in the control group. The ACT program comprised eight 90-minute sessions. Repeated measure of ANOVA was used to compare pre-test mean to post-test mean. Positive changes appeared in emotional acceptance, positive emotion, self-esteem, life satisfaction, and drinking outcome expectancy. These results confirm ACT as and effective psychotherapy for mental health of inpatients with alcohol dependence. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed with suggestions for future study.
