Abstract
The efficacy of ACT in acquired brain injury (ABI) survivors has not been examined. We explored how ACT affects physical/psychological well-being in 380 survivors. Maladaptive reactions to impairment were associated with lower well-being and lower PF. Given that PF predicted well-being beyond time/severity, ACT after ABI should be further explored.
