Abstract
This article describes three brief acceptance-based protocols that were implemented with adolescents presenting psychological barriers to cope with different issues. The first was a values-acceptance protocol applied to adolescents to promote safe sex behaviours. The second protocol was applied to young chess promises to improve their chess performance. The third protocol was applied to children showing impulsive and antisocial behaviors. In all cases, the outcomes were satisfactory. Besides the clinical significance, the implementation of all three protocols served to further refine the acceptance-based clinical methods used in the work with our clients, and to better explore the verbal processes underlying the efficacy of such methods.
