Dr. Batten outlines who can be good candidates for ACT treatment for PTSD, including clients who haven’t responded to traditional treatments or aren’t willing to engage in exposure-based treatment. She describes the settings where ACT has been employed, such as individual outpatient therapy and group treatment. Finally, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional functioning are explained as the main skills that PTSD patients acquire through ACT treatment.
