    Se describe un protocolo de intervención de 5 sesiones basado en la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) dirigido a estudiantes universitarios que presentan miedo a hablar en público (MHP) y promueve los procesos centrales de ACT para el fomento de la flexibilidad psicológica. Dichos procesos son abordados durante la intervención a través de un entrenamiento que combina la exposición en vivo o mediante realidad virtual (RV) desde la perspectiva de la aceptación psicológica. Se presentan los resultados de la aplicación de las dos modalidades del protocolo en sendas estudiantes universitarias que reflejaron reducciones clínicamente significativas del MHP y la ansiedad social. Se concluye que la adaptación de los métodos clínicos de ACT en el ámbito del MHP en combinación con la RV puede suponer un avance significativo en el abordaje de este problema en el ámbito académico.

    A 5-session intervention protocol based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is described. This protocol is aimed at university students with public speaking fear (PSF) and promotes the central processes of ACT in order to improve psychological flexibility. These processes are addressed through acceptance-based training integrated into in vivo exposure or exposure through virtual reality (VR). The implementation of both modalities of the protocol with two university students showed clinically significant reductions in PSF and social anxiety. It is concluded that the adaptation of the clinical methods of ACT in the field of the PSF in combination with VR can lead to a significant advance in the approach of PSF in the academic field.
