“…Indeed, a recent ACT trial for high-frequency migrainewithout-aura patients showed direct improvements in headache frequency and medication intake. 23 It is important to note that according to ACT's theory, symptom reduction is not a direct treatment goal 10 (thus considered secondary outcomes in this study) and symptom changes are conceptualized to occur only as side-effects when improvements in PF and valued-based living happen, and tend to be observed at follow-up time points. 49 This study also examined as outcomes, variables proposed as processes that lead to therapeutic change in ACT, 50,65 and was the first to examine all PF components together.…”

“…These flexibility processes gradually interacting with one another produce greater psychological flexibility or inflexibility processes interact with one another and cause psychopathology. In other words, ACT is about providing room for pain and helping clients to move forward toward chosen values to create a meaningful life and enhancing the quality of life and/or addressing issues, which is the main duty of mental health providers (Tanhan, 2018 (Kyllönen, Muotka, Puolakanaho, Astikainen, Keinonen, & Lappalainen, 2018;Pleger, Treppner, Diefenbacher, Schade, Dambacher, & Fydrich, 2018;Proctor, Moghaddam, Evangelou, & Das Nair, 2018;Puolakanaho et al, 2019), obsessive compulsive disorder (Rohani, Rasouli-Azad, Twohig, Ghoreishi, Lee, & Akbari, 2018;Twohig et al, 2018), cancer related psychological issues (González-Fernández, Fernández-Rodríguez, Paz-Caballero, & Pérez-Álvarez, 2018;McClure, Bricker, Mull, & Heffner, 2019;Wells-Di Gregorio et al, 2019), chronic pain (Razavi, Aboalghasimi, Akbari, & Nadirinabi, 2019), migraine (Grazzi, Bernstein, Raggi, Sansone, Grignani, Searl, & Rizzoli, 2019), sleep issues (Päivi, Sitwat, Harri, Joona, & Raimo, 2019;Wiklund, Linton, Alföldi, & Gerdle, 2018), suicide prevention (Bazley & Pakenham, 2019;Ducasse et al, 2018), psychosis (Spidel, Daigneault, Kealy, & Lecomte, 2019). In addition, online versions of ACT RCTs were conducted to address various issues including pain (Lin et al, 2017;Simister, Tkachuk, Shay, Vincent, Pear, & Skrabek, 2018), depression (Molander et al, 2018), stress (Hofer et al, 2018), and smoking (Bricker, Mull, McClure, Watson, & Heffner, 2018).…”

Muslims across the word underutilize mental health services for addressing their wellbeing and biopsychosocial, spiritual, and contextual issues. By 2030, the global Muslim population is expected to reach 2.2 billion people. This indicates that Muslim mental health is gaining importance and would require contextually (i.e., spiritually, culturally, empirically) more effective services. Practitioners used Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Ecological Systems Theory (EST) to promote wellbeing and address psychopathology for diverse groups. However, rigorous and comprehensive literature from 1986 to 2019 did not produce research addressing how ACT could be consumed to serve Muslims. Researchers in Muslim mental health have suggested benefitting from EST yet only few have mentioned using ACT. ACT is one of the most effective therapies based on randomized control trials to enhance wellbeing and address psychopathology. The main purposes of this paper are to (a) explain how ACT is one of the most appropriate counseling approaches to be utilized with Muslims because ACT and Islam have many commonalities and (b) propose ACT with EST perspective to enable a much more contextual perspective of ACT so that mental health professionals could promote wellbeing and address psychopathology at all ecological levels for all, starting with Muslims. With the arrival of third and fourth wave of counseling approaches, the use of positive psychology in research and practice has increased dramatically. ACT, Islam, and EST also highly stress a positive approach perspective thus considering of ACT and EST together might promise more effective research and practice in positive and abnormal psychology.

“…Conversely, MOH patients undergoing WT reported a high tendency to experiential avoidance, and they also reported higher psychological inflexibility than the population of the AAQ-II validation study, suggesting acceptance and values-based action as relevant psychological dimensions to be fostered through appropriate psychological strategies for patients with MOH. Recently, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) showed promising results in reducing adverse impact in chronic pain conditions, including patients with migraine [32,[70][71][72][73].…”

This explorative cross-sectional study aims at exploring emotional distress, psychological profiles, and the attitude towards receiving psychological support in eighty-seven patients with chronic migraine (CM) undergoing OnabotulinumtoxinA prophylactic treatment (OBT-A, n = 40) or withdrawal treatment (WT, n = 47). The outcomes were explored through a specific battery of questionnaires. 25% of patients undergoing OBT-A and almost half of the patients undergoing WT reported psychological distress of at least moderate-severe level, respectively. Coping strategies, self-efficacy, and perceived social support were similar in the two groups. Patients undergoing OBT-A presented lower psychological inflexibility than patients undergoing WT. Predictors of higher psychological distress were low perceived social support by friends, low self-efficacy, and higher avoidance strategies. In both groups, most of the patients evaluated receiving psychological support to be useful (79%). The potential beneficial effects of OBT-A on the severity of symptoms and psychological distress might further support its role in the multidisciplinary management of patients with CM. Identifying patients with psychological vulnerabilities who may benefit from psychological support is relevant in patients with CM.
