IJBCT Consolidated Volume 5, No. 3 & 4 311 Evaluating Acceptance and Commitment therapy : An Analysis of a Recent Critique Brandon A. Gaudiano, Department of Psychiatry & Human Behavior, Alpert Medical School of Brown University Psychosocial Research Program, Butler Hospital Abstract Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) is a newer psychotherapy that has generated much clinical and research interest in recent years. However, the approach has begun to receive strong criticism from proponents of traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Hofmann and Asmundson (2008) recently compared and contrasted ACT and traditional CBT. They concluded that ACT s criticisms of traditional CBT are inaccurate; both ACT and CBT can be understood using a similar theoretical model; and there is no evidence that ACT represents a third wave of behavior therapy , as is sometimes claimed by its proponents.
proposed that Gross’ (2001) emotion regulation model can be used to explain both ACT and CBT; and (3) rejected the argument that ACT represents a “third wave” of behavior therapy. Each of these topics is discussed in detail below to better understand the concerns expressed by critics and to attempt to determine their actual evidential merit.
