“…Although several meta‐analyses have combined ACTp trials along with other mindfulness‐informed therapies for psychosis (Chai et al, 2022; Khoury et al, 2013; Wood et al, 2020), a few have focused on ACTp studies exclusively. See Table 3 for a summary.…”

PurposeAcceptance and Commitment Therapy for psychosis (ACTp) is a contextual behavioural intervention that promotes psychological flexibility by fostering active acceptance, cognitive defusion, values construction and committed action to enhance well‐being and recovery. Multiple studies have shown that ACTp is acceptable and efficacious, but questions remain as to its distinction from similar approaches and the conditions under which it would be implemented most effectively.MethodsWe present the current evidence for processes and outcomes of ACTp and summarise the qualitative findings of experiences of service users in ACT programmes. We compare ACTp with other cognitive behavioural therapies and mindfulness‐informed interventions for psychosis.ResultsAcceptance and commitment therapy for psychosis is promising as a pragmatic, process‐driven intervention model. Further efforts are needed to investigate psychological flexibility in the context of psychosis with observational, experimental and intervention studies that will inform model scope and treatment refinement. Additionally, implementation research is the necessary next step, including how support persons can be trained in ACTp. Lower intensity and technology‐assisted approaches have the potential to reduce barriers to accessing ACTp and extend impact.ConclusionsOver the last 20 years, ACTp has demonstrated meaningful effects in individual and group formats in a range of settings, targeting outcomes such as rehospitalisation, depression, psychotic symptom distress and impact. Future work should focus on how best to integrate ACTp with other current evidence‐based interventions for psychosis.

“…Mindfulness based interventions (MBIs) have been found to improve a wide range of cognitive functions, such as emotion regulation 3,4 , attentional control 5,6 , and sleep quality 7 , while also enhancing practitioners' sense of wellbeing [8][9][10] . Implementation of MBIs have also shown promising results in alleviating the symptoms of various mental conditions, including anxiety 11,12 , depression 13,14 , post-traumatic stress disorder 15,16 , attention de cit hyperactivity disorder 17,18 , and schizophrenia 19,20 .…”

Interest has been growing in the use of mindfulness meditation (MM) as a therapeutic practice, as accumulating evidence highlights its potential to improve various mental functions and effectively address a range of mental conditions. Among the various hypotheses, a shift in the sense-of-self has been proposed as a possible core mechanism of MM, towards enhanced embodied cognition (related with self-specific processing), and away from narrative reflection (related with self-related processing). While fMRI studies focusing on neural activation and functional connectivity generally support this notion, the impact of MM practice on dynamic functional connectivity remains unclear. To fill this gap, in this study, the dynamics of intrinsic functional networks were compared between experienced MM practitioners and age-matched meditation-naïve control participants, to investigate the impact of long-term MM practice on the dynamic expression of resting state networks over time. Our analysis revealed that, when compared to meditation-naïve participants, experienced meditators at rest tend to spend more time in two brain states that involve cortical regions associated with sensory perception, with a heavy emphasis on visual processing. The opposite was found to occur in a brain state involving areas associated with higher cognitive functions and executive control. These findings suggest that MM might lead to a shift from an emphasis on executive control towards enhanced sensory and embodied processing. These results support the notion that long-term MM favors network states associated with self-specific processes and decrease the occurrence of states associated with self-related executive control. Overall, this study reinforces the utility of dynamical systems theory to extend current knowledge regarding the effects of MM on brain function.
