Acceptance and Commitment therapy works in Psycho-oncological interventions through its focus on developing greater psychological flexibility amongst patients. Considering that ACT focuses on helping individuals accept that pain, anxiety, grief, illness, etc. are a natural part of life and assists them in adapting to these difficulties, it may be a truly effective and essential treatment option for cancer patients in addressing these issues. However, at this time there is not much research on the effects of ACT on wider scale populations.
