This book was written with the assumption that readers may have different levels of knowledge about ACT therapy. Since the six core processes of ACT are interconnected, each one needs to be given proper attention. At the same time, to minimize repetition and stay focused on actionable steps, the authors have presented the key features of the ACT model briefly in this book, and have also included references to other sources of information. Regarding actionable steps, the authors have delved into this process and explored working with it in ACT, as well as in other evidence-based psychotherapeutic methods, and have examined the possibilities of applying the principle of actionable steps by both clients and clinical psychologists.
Many clients want to change their lives for the better but easily give up when inevitable obstacles arise during the treatment process. Actionable steps are one of the six core processes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and by using this principle in their work, clinical therapists help clients make positive choices guided by personal values, even in the presence of unwanted thoughts or feelings, as well as external interferences. By using this detailed guide, therapists can develop and expand a set of interventions aimed at fostering long-term changes in clients' orientation.
This book presents an in-depth exploration of the conceptualization, application, and integration of actionable steps in ACT. This edition contains information on how this process fits into the 'hexaflex' model, what hinders clients from taking values-based actions, and how to combine the components of actionable steps in ACT with other evidence-based practices. Detailed descriptions of clinical cases will help apply the technique of actionable steps in addressing clients' specific issues. This professional guide contains everything a clinician needs to incorporate the principle of actionable steps into practice for achieving better treatment outcomes.
"An ideal guide that will help your clients move from seeking opportunities to taking action. Highly recommend reading!" - Dennis Tirch, Ph.D., co-author of The ACT Practitioner's Guide to the Science of Compassion
