Faith-Based ACT for Christian Clients balances empirical evidence with
theology to give mental health professionals a deep understanding of
both the "why" and "how" of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for
Christians. The new edition includes updated discussions in each
chapter, more than 20 new and updated exercises, and new chapters on
couples and trauma.
The book includes a detailed exploration of the overlap between ACT and
the Christian faith, case studies, and techniques that are explicitly
designed to be accessible to both non-Christian and Christian (including
evangelical Christian) counselors and therapists. Chapters also present
the established research on Buddhist-influenced mindfulness meditation
and newer research on Christian-derived meditative and contemplative
practices and lay a firm theological foundation through the use of
engaging biblical stories and metaphors.
