Abstract
Describes three brief ACT-based protocols applied to adolescents: (1) promotion of safe sexual behaviors, (2) improvement of chess performance, and (3) intervention with impulsive/antisocial behaviors. The protocols combine values clarification, defusion, and experiential exercises; preliminary results show clinically relevant effects and serve to refine methods and explore underlying verbal processes.
