(actmindfully) In the late 1980 ACT was developed and it was also known as “Comprehensive Distancing”. Steven.C. Hayes, Kelly G. Wilson and Krik strosahi were the pioneer in developing ACT. ACT was found by a language therapy and CBT technique called Relation Frame Therapy. ACT has some similarity with CBT like creating control over thoughts, emotions, affect, memories and other private events in one’s own life but it is still different. The prominent principle which is taught in ACT is “Notice and accept the events, even though it is not a wanted ones”. Another prominent teaching and realization of ACT is self as context where one notice, feel but still can feel distant from one’s own thought, emotion, affect and memories.

In the process, acceptance is an active process which involves the ones own awareness in their emotion, desire, internally suppressed private thoughts and incidents and accepting them with fully experiencing its feeling. For instance, an anxiety patient is asked to feel their anxiousness as a feeling not using any defense mechanism, and then they are provided with the methods which will provide help to the client in leaving the anxiousness.

Behavior therapy was studied by Ivan Pavlov and his famous dog study in which dogs were conditioned to salivate upon hearing a bell. It was later continued to be studied by John Watson who has the famous “Little Albert” study in which an 11-month old infant was conditioned to be scared of fuzzy white things because a rat was paired with a loud noise. The conclusion of the two conditioning experiences was that, behaviors followed by satisfying experiences tend to increase in frequency and behaviors followed by aversive experiences tend to decrease in frequency” (Thoma, 2015). Watson’s assistant Mary Jones, used this principle to clinical applications reasoning that, “if conditioning could be used to induce a phobia, perhaps it could be used to undo a phobia as well” (Thoma, 2015). Thus, behavior therapy was developed and began being used for
