About this title

Synopsis

The self plays an integral role in human motivation, cognition, and social identity. That's why observing the self is such an important element of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). However, for many ACT clinicians, it can be difficult to apply this complex theory in everyday practice. A must-have addition to any ACT practitioner's library, A Contextual Behavioral Guide to the Self translates the ACT model's most difficult-yet essential-process into easy-to-apply steps and user-friendly language. With this unique road map, clinicians will help clients develop empathy, compassion, and flexible perspective taking-leading to better treatment outcomes and better lives for clients.
