Product Description
Published USA, 2011 (2nd edition) Paperback edition 2016
Since the original publication of this seminal work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has come into its own as a widely practised approach to helping people change. This book provides the definitive statement of ACT - from conceptual and empirical foundations to clinical techniques - written by its originators. ACT is based on the idea that psychological rigidity is a root cause of a wide range of clinical problems. The authors describe effective, innovative ways to cultivate psychological flexibility by detecting and targeting six key processes: defusion, acceptance, attention to the present moment, self-awareness, values and committed action. Sample therapeutic exercises and patient-therapist dialogues are integrated throughout.
CONTENTS
Foundations and the Model
Functional Analysis and Approach to Intervention
Core Clinical Processes
Building a Progressive Scientific Approach
Steven Hayes is Nevada Foundation Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Nevada.
