| Sumario: | Discrimination, exclusion, and gender-based violence are recurring social phenomena within healthcare services accessed by the LGBTIQ+ community (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, transvestite, intersex, and queer), reflecting a lack of guarantees in psychosocial care. The aim of this study is to analyze the available scientific literature on interventions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for LGBTIQ+ individuals in Ibero-American countries between 2010 and March 2023. A documentary review was conducted using the PRISMA ScR methodology, identifying nine documents that met the inclusion criteria that were classified into nomothetic and idiographic categories. ACT was found to be a well-established treatment for individuals with emotional symptoms undergoing treatment for HIV. In order to improve the mental health of LGBTIQ+ individuals in Ibero-America, there is an emphasis on the importance of implementing ACT-based interventions. |
