Intervention

Behavioral:
• ACT
The treatment is based on a variant of CBT, as briefly referred to before, ACT. In short, the treatment consists of identifying central and important areas of life, and how to approach these even though you are also struggling with persistent and challenging problems. In this study, the treatment intervention is flexibly constructed, focusing on several central principles based on ACT. These can be applied during one or numerous sessions. The intervention is a flexible application of clinical functional analysis, as well as a couple of selected interventions which, in terms of experience and in previous studies, have been shown to work well for the current group (24-hour psychiatric patients with complex problems) and which are individually adaptable to the nature of the problem and degree.
