Book Description:

Learning ACT is a comprehensive and unique workbook, designed specifically for therapists seeking to expand their knowledge of and competency with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The book provides an overview of the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of ACTand RFT. However, LearningACT is designed to go beyond the philosophy, theory, concepts, and verbal knowledge of techniques to the actual production of skills and competencies. We have deliberately written it in a style that is lightly referenced and accessible because our focus is on the practical. Thus, it is our hope that, by reading the book, clinicians will gain not only a basic understanding of the theory behind the therapy, but will be empowered to begin to apply the techniques in their practices.
