ACT ADVISOR Psychological Flexibility Measure

Please find attached a hexaflex-based self-report measure, and a form for recording scores on charts if the measure is used repeatedly. ACT ADVISOR (you guessed it) is an acronym for the hexaflex processes (Acceptance; Commitment & Taking action; Attention to present; Defusion; Values Identification; Self as Observer; and Resulting psychological flexibility). It is hoped that the instrument may be useful both in case formulation and in tracking progress during therapy.

The idea for using the hexaflex as a diagnostic/ case formulation tool was, I believe, originally Kelly's and his materials (see The Hexaflex Dimensional Approach to Diagnostics) influenced the development of this instrument. Steve made helpful suggestions about the anchor statements for each process in earlier drafts, and I am also grateful for the ACT listserv community’s interest and input.
