Innovations in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Acquired Brain Injury

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) allows people with acquired brain injury to develop psychological flexibility, in order to lead a vital life, despite all the difficult thoughts, feelings and brain injury symptoms that are present.

Innovations in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Acquired Brain Injury brings together contributions from highly experienced clinicians, using innovative approaches in ACT for acquired brain injury, in the context of individuals, working with relatives, groups and multidisciplinary teams.

This book will be a valuable resource for clinical psychologists, clinical neuropsychologists, counselling psychologists, cognitive behaviour therapists, psychiatrists and counsellors working therapeutically with clients with acquired brain injury.
