Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: 100 Key Points and Techniques offers
a comprehensive, yet concise, overview of the central features of the
philosophy, theory, and practical application of ACT. It explains and
demonstrates the range of acceptance, mindfulness, and behaviour change
strategies that can be used in the service of helping people increase
their psychological flexibility and wellbeing.
Divided into three main parts, the book covers the 'Head, Hands, and
Heart' of the approach, moving from the basics of behavioural
psychology, via the key principles of Relational Frame Theory and the
Psychological Flexibility model, to a detailed description of how ACT is
practiced, providing the reader with a solid grounding from which to
develop their delivery of ACT-consistent interventions. It concludes by
addressing key decisions to make in practice and how best to attend to
the therapeutic process.
The authors of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy bring a wealth of
experience of using ACT in their own therapy practice and of training
and supervising others in developing knowledge and skills in the
approach. This book will appeal to practitioners looking to further
their theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills and those seeking a
useful reference for all aspects of their ACT practice.
