Abstract [en]

Values and discussions of valued choices are a core part of acceptance and commitment therapy, behavioral activation, motivational interviewing, and a wide variety of other evidence-based methods. Values work can function in therapy as a motivator for change, as a metric for the effectiveness of actions, and as a guide in the development of new behavioral repertoires. Values work can be done at any point in the therapeutic process. Values interventions are used to help clients stop vicious, negative life cycles and get in contact with more effective behavior patterns. This chapter gives an extended example of values work using the Bull’s-Eye Values Survey (BEVS). During the last decade, the BEVS has also been developed and investigated as an outcome and mediator measure in research. Changes in valued living as measured by the BEVS are associated with higher quality of life and lower depression, anxiety, and stress. BEVS scores mediate changes in behavioral health and mental health areas. Values work can empower most forms of evidence-based therapy by linking behavior change to meaning and purpose. Choosing and clarifying values appears to be a key process with wide applicability across problem types and treatment methods.
