Abstract
(from the chapter) The goals of this chapter are to introduce the tenets of the ACT-HC model as a framework for conceptualizing ACT interventions at both individual and programmatic level. We will describe intervention strategies for patients with medical complaints who are at risk for developing chronic suffering, for groups of patients that typically are not responsive to more traditional treatments (e.g., somatization disorders, chronic fatigue, and children with ADHD), and for those who have multiple health problems with little hope of substantial, lasting improvement in health. We will conclude with some suggestions for how to train medical and behavioral health providers in this approach. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
