Very useful

ACT Verbatim REALLY useful additional way of getting more grounded in the approach. Seeing the constructs put into action in an ongoing case helps to clarify the concepts and helps to confirm whether one has grasped them accurately.

From theory to therapy

I love this book. The application of theory to an actual "live person" (with all the bells, whistles & hurdles) is a fantastic addition to any ACT library. It contains a start-to-finish demonstration of ACT treatment with "in flight processes" pinned down... & the best part is that you can turn the page & go back & it's still there. You have not just missed the moment....

The tie between different points of the hexaflex, client material and therapist dance was great in slowing things down to really get a sense of how ACT works. It helped me in my learning to discriminate various contingencies & functions at play; in the absence of a real client or taped session. Just fabulous!

This collection of transcripts, organized and annotated by Michael P. Twohig and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) founder Steven C. Hayes, guides you through ACT-based therapy processes session-by-session. The transcripts featured in this volume present common situations that arise in clinical practice, while the commentary explains how to identify the six target ACT processes and help clients work through them to achieve psychological flexibility.

For the most detailed view of ACT therapy, the clinical transcripts included here follow the development of one client struggling with anger, anxiety, and depression. Since ACT is process- rather than technique-oriented, this kind of "in the moment" analysis is a singularly effective way to learn to apply this therapeutic model.

These transcripts will help you:
* Identify client indicators that suggest you should target a specific process in therapy * Create useful exercises to foster client development in the core processes of ACT
* Evaluate client advancement and structure sessions for maximum progress
* Learn the different styles other therapists use to implement ACT in their own ways
