Text of Note

Since the initial publication of this seminal work, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has come into its own as a widely practiced approach to helping people change. This book provides the definitive statement of ACT, written by its originators. Reflecting tremendous advances in clinical applications, theory building, and research, the second edition has been restructured to be more clinician friendly and accessible, with a central focus on cultivating psychological flexibility. ACT is based on the idea that psychological rigidity is a root cause of depression, anxiety, and many other forms of suffering. It seeks to help patients overcome excessive reliance on a problem-solving mode of mind and to facilitate a more open, centered, and engaged approach to living. The authors describe effective, innovative ways to nurture psychological flexibility by detecting and targeting six key processes: defusion, acceptance, attention to the present moment, perspective taking, values, and committed action. Sample therapeutic exercises and patient-therapist dialogues are integrated throughout. With heightened attention to the moment-by-moment process of therapy, the second edition features expanded coverage of mindfulness, the therapeutic relationship, relational learning, case formulation, and the connections between ACT and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The book also explains the research framework underlying the ongoing development of ACT and looks at where the science may be heading in the future.
