Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, utilizes defusion techniques that aim to help clients look at their thoughts rather than from their thoughts. This involves helping clients become aware of their thoughts but not becoming entangled or fused with them. ACT does not focus on literalization, evaluation, or comparison (A) or helping clients fuse with their beliefs and schemas (B). It also does not primarily focus on modifying cognitions through challenge and disputation (D).
