Intervención Contextual Basada en ACT en un Caso de Violencia de Género

Intimate partner violence is a persistent issue both in Spain and globally, resulting in psychological consequences for women affected by it. Among these repercussions, we can find difficulties associated with experiential avoidance, lack of connection with personal values, and a decline in quality of life. Contextual psychological interventions have been proposed as ideal for addressing such problems, yet the scientific literature regarding their application to intimate partner violence is limited, primarily focusing on group interventions. This text illustrates a non-manualized contextual intervention with a 39-year-old woman who is a victim of intimate partner violence. The findings indicate that the intervention was effective in reducing problematic behaviours linked to experiential avoidance and a lack of committed action to her values, thereby enhancing the woman’s satisfaction across important areas of her life. This study provides evidence on the utility of contextual interventions for psychological issues related to intimate partner violence within public healthcare settings
