Abstract: To investigate the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy for one Chinese college student with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder. A mild obsessive-compulsive disorder college student received the 13 times counseling with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, Acceptance and action Questionnaire-2 (AAQ-2), Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were completed pre and post treatment and after 3 months. Data indicated that Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, AAQ-2, SAS and SDS were significantly reduced from pre to post intervention; better psychological flexibility and higher self-evaluation were reported by the student. These improvements still were maintained after 3 months. So ACT can be helpful to obsessive-compulsive disorder patients.

Key words: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder; Psychological Consultation
