Kintsugi and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

I’ve been working with Mickey Espino, artist and psychologist (in training), on a Kintsugi and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) project following the completion of his Masters. This has led to the publication of our article: Espino, M. & Kempton, H. (2026). The art of mending together: Integrating Kintsugu and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for preventative health. Arts in Psychotherapy, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aip.2026.102539. Also check out Mickey’s art work: mickeyespinoart.com Note it is his artwork on the cover of my book Mindfulness Through Science and Verse: Finger Pointing at the Moon.
