The present article examines whether it is appropriate for applied behavior analysts to use Acceptance and Commitment Training or Therapy (ACT) as part of their professional practice. We approach this question by briefly examining the behavioral history of ACT and then considering ACT through the lens of the requirements of applied behavior analysis as specified by Baer, Wolf, and Risley in Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1(1), 91–97 (1968). We believe that ACT meets all seven of their criteria and thus conclude that ACT can and should be used as a behavior analytic method. We briefly consider the need for applied behavior analysts to use ACT in a way that is consistent with their field, scope of practice, and their individual scope of competence.

本文探讨了应用行为分析师将接受和承诺培训或疗法（ACT）作为其专业实践的一部分是否合适。我们通过简要检查ACT的行为历史来解决此问题，然后通过Baer，Wolf和Risley在《应用行为分析杂志》（1（1），91–97）中指定的应用行为分析要求的角度考虑ACT。（1968）。我们认为ACT符合其所有七个标准，因此得出结论，ACT可以并且应该用作行为分析方法。我们简要地考虑了应用行为分析师需要以与其领域，业务范围及其个人能力范围相一致的方式使用ACT。
