Abstract
In recent years, theoretical and empirical research interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a parent intervention has grown. There is now a need to synthesise emerging empirical findings. A systematic review of published studies investigating ACT as a parent intervention was undertaken via PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, the Cochrane library and the Association for Contextual Behavioural Science databases. Using inclusion criteria and a quality assessment, 14 outcome studies were identified for evaluation using a narrative synthesis. The majority of studies investigated ACT for parents of children with physical health or neurodevelopmental conditions. The findings, based on heterogeneous studies including a small number of randomised controlled trials, suggest that ACT-based parent interventions may have positive benefits on parenting style and behaviours, parenting-specific psychological flexibility and general psychological flexibility. It is concluded that ACT holds promise as a parent intervention, and its potential to benefit both parents and their children are discussed. Recommendations for future research are made, in particular for further studies in a broader range of contexts.
