Effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Positive Symptom Reporting

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can increase the reporting of positive symptoms in psychotic patients compared to control groups. Rather than indicating an actual increase in symptom occurrence—which is difficult to test due to changes in the believability of symptoms—this increase in reporting likely occurs because ACT makes patients more aware of and accepting of their symptoms, enabling them to openly acknowledge them.
