Core Tip	Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a promising intervention for the treatment of psychotic disorders, but research on its application to the early stages of the disease is still limited. This study reviews the current understanding of ACT-based interventions for the early phases of psychosis. ACT applied to early psychosis is feasible and improves psychotic symptoms, treatment adherence, and functioning. Furthermore, preliminary evidence indicates the benefits of group-based, online-delivered, and hybrid interventions that combine face-to-face treatment with innovative real-time digital interventions. Although promising, further research should confirm these preliminary findings.
