Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based contemporary psychological approach to behaviour change that promotes the idea of people living more in line with their values whilst providing them with practical strategies for managing adversity. In this book, Dawn Johnson and Richard Bennett have collated fifty of the questions that have most frequently been put to them whilst delivering ACT training and supervision to a wide range of therapists and other helping professionals.

This book is the first of its kind to provide concise answers to a range of philosophical, theoretical, conceptual, and practical questions raised by practitioners who are learning ACT. It will be of interest to psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, counsellors, psychiatrists, and a broad range of other mental health practitioners and trainees. It serves as a useful resource for those new to the practice of ACT, and for more experienced practitioners who might want to consider these questions themselves.

Dawn Johnson works as a Clinical Psychologist in private practice, offering therapy, teaching, training, supervision, and consultation. She previously had a long career in the National Health Service and has extensive experience of adapting ACT to work with people with intellectual disabilities, neurodiversity, and severe mental health problems.

Richard Bennett works as a Clinical Psychologist and Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. He lectures at the Centre for Applied Psychology at the University of Birmingham and works at Think Psychology, the independent psychology practice he founded, which offers therapy, supervision, and training.
