A Practical Guide to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

A Practical Guide to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

This book is the most practical clinical guide on Acceptance and CommitÂ ment Therapy (ACT said as one word, not as initials) yet available. It is designed to show how the ACT model and techniques apply to various disorders, settings, and delivery options. The authors of these chapters are experts in applying ACT in these various areas, and it is intriguing how the same core principles of ACT are given a nip here and a tuck there to fit it to so many issues. The purpose of this book, in part, is to emboldened researchers and clinicians to begin to apply ACT wherever it seems to fit. The chapters in the book demonstrate that ACT may be a useful treatÂ ment approach for a very wide range of clinical problems. Already there are controlled data in many of these areas, and soon that database will be much larger. The theory underlying ACT (Relational Frame Theory or "RFT"-and yes, here you say the initials) makes a powerful claim: psyÂ chopathology is, to a significant degree, built into human language. FurÂ ther, it suggests ways to diminish destructive language-based functions and ways of augmenting helpful ones. To the extent that this model is corÂ rect, ACT should apply to a very wide variety of behavioral issues because of the centrality of language and cognition in human functioning.
