Comparison of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and ACT
A big bestseller from the 1970s or 1980s explains cognitive behavioral therapy, particularly acceptance commitment therapy (ACT). ACT helps deal with negative thoughts by acknowledging them but not giving them attention while focusing on value-driven actions. It's effective for anxiety-related issues, while cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is good for negative rumination. CBT challenges negative thoughts and ACT focuses on moving forward despite potential problems, helping individuals adapt.
