Title: Acceptance and commitment therapy to alleviate climate-induced psychological distress.
Authors: Bellehumeur, Christian R. (AUTHOR), Carignan, Laure-Marie (AUTHOR), Robinson, Nathalie (AUTHOR)
Source: British Journal of Guidance & Counselling. Apr2026, Vol. 54 Issue 2, p173-185. 13p.
Subjects: Psychotherapy, Psychological distress, Climate change, Eco-anxiety, Emotions, Psychological well-being, Acceptance & commitment therapy, Cognition
Abstract: The aim of this clinical article is to propose the relevance of the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) model Hayes, S. C., Villatte, M., Levin, M., & Hildebrandt, M. [2011. Open, aware, and active: Contextual approaches as an emerging trend in the behavioral and cognitive therapies. Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, 7(1), 141–168. ] to alleviate climate-induced psychological suffering. After a brief introduction establishing the need for climate-informed mental health intervention, the article is divided into three sections. The first section briefly presents ACT, highlighting the six core components of psychological flexibility. The second section provides a discussion to broaden and deepen psychotherapists' understanding of eco-emotions, particularly eco-anxiety and eco-anger. The third section presents how this framework is relevant to assessing psychological flexibility in the context of climate change, using a hypothetical clinical example partly based on empirical findings.
