Sumario:Today, it is common to see many books called "self-help" and whose pages promise keys and even secrets for the development of this or that aspect in the personal life of each reader. However, the immediate question is how much of (scientific) psychology can really be found in these pages? The revised material aims precisely to try to correct this problem from its proposal: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a psychological therapy that forms part of contextual therapies (Hayes, Stroshal & Wilson, 2014), it lays its foundations in functional contextualism (its philosophical posture) and in the theory of the relational framework (TMR, an experimental development) to understand and explain human behaviour; this seriousness in its work has achieved that, to date, ACT enjoys great success in the treatment of multiple problems (Egúsquiza-Vásquez, 2015).
