为了应对ACT的优势,出现了一些理论和实证问题。一个主要的理论问题是ACT的主要作者和相应的人类行为理论,关系框架理论(RFT)和功能语境主义(FC),推荐他们的方法作为心理治疗的众所周知的圣杯。[28]心理学家詹姆斯·科恩(James C. Coyne)在讨论“心理治疗品牌作为支持证据的令人失望和尴尬”时说:“ACT是否比其他疗法更有效,正如其支持者有时声称的那样,或者它是否有效精神病,值得商榷“。[29]教科书“心理治疗系统:一个理论分析”从其他心理治疗系统的角度提出了对第三波行为疗法的批评,包括ACT。[30]
心理学家Jonathan W. Kanter表示,Hayes及其同事“认为经验临床心理学在减轻人类痛苦和提出语境行为科学(CBS)的努力中受到阻碍,以解决该领域的基本哲学,理论和方法学缺陷。在没有明确的逻辑和经验支持的情况下,过度推广接受和承诺疗法(ACT)和关系框架理论(RFT)以及早期认知和行为改变技术的降级,有时会使CBS的承诺变得模糊不清。 “[31]尽管如此,坎特得出的结论是”CBS,RFT和ACT的思想值得主流社区认真考虑,并具有塑造真正进步的临床科学以指导临床实践的巨大潜力。“[31]

Moreover, the strategies of ACT are not specific to the theory and philosophy underlying ACT. There are considerable similarities between ACT and Eastern holistic approaches, such as Morita therapy, which was developed 80 years ago.
