Product Description
Published USA, 2007
ACT offers a promising, empirically validated approach to the treatment of PTSD and other trauma related problems. After a quick overview of PTSD, the first part of the book explains the problem of experiential avoidance as it relates to trauma, and it explores the verbal nature of post-traumatic stress. Practitioners will learn the importance of mindfulness and acceptance in the ACT model, find out how to structure sessions with clients, and examine the problem of control. The section concludes by introducing the idea of creative hopelessness as the starting point for creating a new, workable life after trauma. The book`s second section offers a practical, step-by-step clinical guide to the six core ACT components in chronological order:
+ Creative Hopelessness
+ The Problem of Control
+ Willingness and Defusion
+ Self-as-Context
+ Valued Living
+ Committed Action
Each chapter explains how to introduce these topics to clients who suffer from PTSD, illustrates each with case examples, and offers homework to clients to use between sessions. The CD-ROM includes client worksheets.
Hardback, with CD-ROM. 255 pages
