摘要

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Behavior Analysts: A Practice Guide from Theory to Treatment, by Dixon et al. (2023), offers a rigorous and conceptually systematic perspective on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) within behavior analysis. The book aims to settle whether ACT qualifies as behavior analytic and to guide behavior analysts in integrating ACT-consistent strategies in their practice. It does so by addressing (1) historical, philosophical, and theoretical foundations of ACT; (2) functional analyses of the six ACT processes; and (3) practical applications and ethical considerations. This review offers an overview of the book, critically evaluates its contributions and limitations, suggests readers who might benefit from it, and determines whether the book achieves its purpose.
