“…Although the ACT group did not show significant decreases in relation aggression compared to a control group, students exposed to the acceptance protocol were more likely to use problem-solving skills. Theodore-Oklota et al (2014) did find that in both groups change in experiential avoidance was predictive of engaging in relational aggression, aggressive retaliation, and psychological distress. Given the importance of appropriate problem solving skills to predicting suicidal ideation, this is a key finding.…”

“…A defusion protocol, another component of ACT, was similarly used to increase acceptance and decrease behavioral problems in a sample of adolescents with high impulsivity (Luciano et al, 2011). Finally, an ACT-based risk reduction intervention was implemented into a school targeting relational aggression (Theodore-Oklota, Orsillo, Lee, & Vernig, 2014). Although the ACT group did not show significant decreases in relation aggression compared to a control group, students exposed to the acceptance protocol were more likely to use problem-solving skills.…”

Approximately 4,600 American adolescents commit suicide each year, and adolescent suicide rates are on the rise. The consequences of suicidal behavior are far-reaching, and understanding the development of patterns that contribute to ideation and attempt are crucial to prevention and intervention. This paper outlines an experiential avoidance model of suicidality and discusses an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to treating adolescent suicidal behavior. A case study is reviewed, along with literature relevant to the risk factors and trajectories correlated with suicide in adolescents. Although recent evidence indicates that ACT is generally useful with adolescents with related concerns, a thorough literature review indicates that no specific work has investigated the efficacy of ACT for suicidal behavior in youth.

“…Over 60% of the Masoumian et al’s (2021) study comprised of undergraduate students. The three studies that took place in the school environment had a participant average age of 9.8 years (Chang & Hwang, 2017), and 12.4 years (Theodore-Oklota et al, 2015), respectively.…”

“…Two interventions included other treatment components alongside ACT. Ruiz and Leticia (2015) included a token economy and Theodore-Oklota et al (2015) reported that their three-session intervention was based on both ACT and acceptance-based behavioral therapies. This intervention was the only universal school-based program.…”

“…Regarding control groups, only one study included an active treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy (Masoumian et al, 2021). Two studies used a control group (Garivani et al, 2021; Mohammadi & Farhoudian, 2015) and one study compared the intervention to a waitlist (Theodore-Oklota et al, 2015). Only three studies included information on a follow-up period, ranging from 2 months to 1 year.…”

The onset of childhood disruptive behaviors is one of the most common presenting difficulties to clinics worldwide. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has shown to be effective in the reduction of anger and aggression among adults, however to date there has been no systematic review that has examined the effectiveness of ACT in addressing anger and aggression among children, adolescents, and young adults. The current systematic review aimed to evaluate the methodological standing and effectiveness of the peer-reviewed literature of ACT on anger and aggression for this population. PsycINFO, PubMed, and MEDLINE databases were searched systematically in June 2022 to identify studies in English published on the use of ACT for anger and aggression in children, adolescents, and young adults. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria with a combined sample of 305 participants across the interventions. The most common outcome measures used were self-report ratings of anger among participants. Studies were characterized by poor methodological rigor and findings were mixed as regards the effectiveness of ACT in addressing anger and aggression in this population. Some evidence suggests that group ACT may be effective in reducing self-report measures of anger, but no firm conclusions can be drawn from the extant literature due to the heterogeneous nature of the studies, and limited information about ACT protocols and treatment delivery. Further higher-powered studies comparing ACT to treatment as usual or waitlist are needed to clarify what ACT may add as a treatment to anger and aggression in this population.
