The Heart of ACT: Developing a Flexible, Process-Based, and Client-Centered Practice Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

By Robyn D. Walser

Book Overview

As a clinician practicing acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), you play an essential role in helping clients enact meaningful, positive change. But even the best clinicians can get caught up in technique and procedure, and temporarily lose sight of the warmth and compassion at the core of ACT. When this happens, sessions can feel stilted. With this comprehensive resource, you'll learn to cultivate a more mindful, process-based, and organic practice-one that's grounded in the heart of the therapeutic relationship and responsive to clients in the moment. In The Heart of ACT, renowned ACT trainer Robyn Walser offers both inter- and intrapersonal tools to help you make the most of your client sessions. You'll fine a wealth of engaging clinical scenarios, treatment insights, and supervision dialogues to help you move beyond your conceptual understanding of ACT principles, as well as tips for adopting a more flexible approach. Openness and present-moment awarehess are crucial components of a rich therapeutic experience, and fundamental to the ACT processes. If you're ready to take your ACT delivery to a new, exciting level, this-book has everything you need to get started. Book jacket.
