Acceptance and Commitment Therapy An Experiential Approach to Behavior Change

The prevailing view among both therapists and clients is that a more vital life can be attained by overcoming negative thoughts and feelings. Then why do so many people continue to suffer with behaviour disorders, adjustment difficulties, and low life satisfaction? Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique psychotherapeutic approach that addresses this question by altering the very ground on which rational change strategies rest. Providing in one volume a scientifically sound theory of psychopathology and a practical treatment model, the book features detailed clinical guidelines as well as numerous case examples demonstrating the approach in action.Hayes, Steven C. is the author of 'Acceptance and Commitment Therapy An Experiential Approach to Behavior Change', published 2003 under ISBN 9781572309555 and ISBN 1572309555.
