FIORINI, Milena Carolina et al. ACT program with couples: repercussions on family dynamics. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.2, pp.37-54. ISSN 1677-2970.  https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.32467/issn.2175-3628v23n2a4.

This qualitative research sought to understand the repercussions of the ACT Program on parenting, coparenting, conjugality, and child behavior. ACT is a parenting training program focused on improving parenting practices. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three heteroaffective couples who participated in the intervention and submitted to thematic categorical analysis. The results indicated an improvement in parenting and a reduction in children's behavior problems. The participation of both parents promoted favorable repercussions not only on coparenting and conjugality but on family dynamics as a whole. This study suggests that the participation of coparental pairs in training programs tends to enhance the application of knowledge, benefiting the child's development.
