I've work for 20 years for a very large orginazation with a few thousand employees. Once it became ...

Challenging Current Thinking in Clinical Psychology
Hayes and colleagues have made an excellent contribution with their book Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) by drawing together many years of theoretical work and practice into a very readable work. The first half of the book outlines the theoretical foundations of ACT. Many recent books in clinical psychology claim to offer a new psychotherapeutic technique or a new approach within a ...

The Guilford Press, 2004

a fine review of current thinking on acceptance, mindfulness, and CBT
i found the other review of this book so perplexing, i felt i had to say something. this will be a very useful book to folks who are interested in how concepts of acceptance and mindfulness can be integrated with, or change for the better, cognitive behavioral treatments. if you have no idea what the previous sentence means, then you are probably not one of those folks!

Act on Life Not on Anger: The New Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Guide to Problem Anger

5 reviews
Georg H. Eifert, Matthew McKay, ...

New Harbinger Publications, 2006

Transformational
This highly readable book is so much more than simply a resource for transforming the reader's relationship with problem anger. It contains a wealth of insight into what life is like for the vast majority of human beings, whose daily struggle with painful thoughts and feelings obscures the truth about their deepest sense of self. The good news is that people's most fundamental sense of self can ...

We get to follow Elisabeth, a woman who is perceived by society to be broken, as she actively chooses to commit towards leading a ...

Rule-Governed Behavior: Cognition, Contingencies, and Instructional Control

Steven C. Hayes

Context Press, 2004

Excellent intro to underappreciated area
Rule-governed Behavior is an excellent introduction to one of the most under-appreciated areas of Applied Behavior Analysis. Ironically, RGB is one of the topic areas that best addresses the critics of ABA, and yet many within the field do not properly appreciate its importance. Some of the research conclusions have been updated recently, but this is an excellent place to begin getting grounded ...

Acceptance And Mindfulness at Work: Applying Acceptance And Commitment Therapy And Relational Frame Theory to ...

1 review

Routledge, 2006

Not much information - A hash
I expected this would be informative regarding extending ACT specifically to the work place. You get more information regarding ACT in other books and get NO additional information in this book. It appears to be more a promotion of ACT than anything of much value to the reader. Many studies are referenced saying how effective ACT is, but there is No new information regarding ACT or how to apply ...

The Scientist Practitioner: Research and Accountability in the Age of Managed Care (2nd Edition)

1 review
Steven C. Hayes, David H. Barlow, ...

Allyn & Bacon, 1999

Grad student review
Having studied experimental research designs for the past 6 years and numerous topics dedicated to the subject, I have found this text to be the most convoluted and dense book on the subject of research yet. Rarely do the authors speak in a language that is accessible and meaningful to the general audiences of researchers and pre-researchers. Instead they are overly verbose and convoluted which ...

Any cognitve-behavioral clinician who does not have this ...

Relational Frame Theory: A Post-Skinnerian Account of Human Language and Cognition

1 review

Springer, 2001

Excellent psychological science
Psychologists who think behaviorism has little or nothing to offer to a scientific account of cognition and emotion should read this book. Through coherent, conceptually pure theory and consistent empirical research, Hayes and colleagues have developed an account of these pivotal topics that may bring behaviorism back onto the main stage in psychology. Relational Frame Theory (RFT) makes a small ...
