The Act Approach: A Comprehensive Guide for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

A good, short introduction to the ACT model. It doesn't focus on metaphors or exercises and instead does a good job of showing how you can flexibly integrate the processes of the ACT model into your clinical conversations. I especially appreciate the annotated examples of client-therapist conversations provided. Very helpful!

Delightful read. Concise yet comprehensive. Concrete yet enables understanding of abstract ideas . A great mix of pictures, examples, and progressive use of ACT processes with various clients who express psychological inflexibility . The best on ACT concepts and principles I have read with specific answers for making essential distinctions in a user friendly way. Have read a lot of books about ACT. This invited me to experience it in a very meaningful way. Learned a lot A great read and the best I have read from many I have chewed and swallowed but this was entirely digested. A new challenge to all who follow ACT as a way of being

Unfortunately the book appears to have had a misprint. Amazon is sending a replacement, but to be aware of before ordering. Hopefully the replacement has no print issues!

This excellent book breaks down ACT in an accessible and simple way, the worksheets definately makes the book an experiential exercise which helps solidify all that fabulous knowledge. Well worth a read and well worth the money.

This was a required text for one of my graduate classes for my MSW. I loved this book. It explained things very well and there are pages within the book that can be used for resources in sessions. It definitely breaks down ACT really well and provides an amazing understanding for what it is and how to include it in sessions!
