This book provides the definitive statement of ACTâ€”from conceptual and empirical foundations to clinical techniquesâ€”written by its originators. ACT is based on the idea that psychological rigidity is a root cause of a wide range of clinical problems. The authors describe effective, innovative ways to cultivate psychological flexibility by detecting and targeting six key processes: defusion, acceptance, attention to the present moment, self-awareness, values, and committed action. Sample therapeutic exercises and patientâ€“therapist dialogues are integrated throughout., ,Â , ,New to This Edition, ,*Reflects tremendous advances in ACT clinical applications, theory building, and research., ,*Psychological flexibility is now the central organizing focus., ,*Expanded coverage of mindfulness, the therapeutic relationship, relational learning, and case formulation., ,*Restructured to be more clinician friendly and accessible; focuses on the moment-by-moment process of therapy., ,Â
