ACT, psychotherapy, neurofeedback, neuromodulation, multi-modalAbstract
The integration of neurofeedback (NF) with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) describes a multimodal intervention that provides access, noninvasively, to real-time information and feedback of client-relevant biological behavior set within an evidence-based psychotherapeutic behavioral context. It is advanced that the integration of therapies considers the range of contextual and learning factors that influence NF, which are supported by advancements in contextual behavioral theory and practice. This paper frames NF as a repeated experiential exercise that supports psychological flexibility processes relevant to acceptance, defusion, self-as-context, and contact with the present moment, while engaging values-based committed action. This clinical perspective offers that NF can be flexibly integrated and blended within an evidence-based psychotherapeutic context and applied as a transdiagnostic, process-based intervention that may provide a broad scope for meaningful change.
