Summary

The six processes within the psychological flexibility model of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are seen as being equally theoretically and clinically important. The utility of self-as-context component however has never been isolated in a dismantling study. The present study therefore sought to conduct a pilot two-arm dismantling component study of ACT, quarantining the self-as-context component from one of the arms. Patients with a long-term health condition (LTC) and concurrent mental health condition were randomised into one of two study arms; (1) Full-ACT or (2) ACT minus self-as-context (ACT-SAC). Participants in each arm were compared with regards to their ability to engage in psychological flexibility and decentering. Clinical outcomes were compared at end of treatment and also at 6-weeks follow-up.
