Now fully-revised and updated, this second edition of ACT Made Simple includes new information and chapters on self-compassion, flexible perspective taking, working with trauma, and more.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is one of today’s most widely used third-wave behavioral therapies for helping clients build psychological flexibility, get unstuck from painful thoughts and feelings, take meaningful action guided by their values, and create lasting behavior change. But ACT can be difficult to learn from theory alone.
Written by renowned ACT trainer Russ Harris, ACT Made Simple makes the ACT model clear, accessible, and immediately usable. Whether you’re new to ACT or looking for a reliable refresher, this essential guide gives you the language, techniques, metaphors, exercises, and tools you need to bring ACT to life in real-world practice.
With this fully revised and updated edition, you will: Gain a clear understanding of the ACT hexaflex and six core processes Help clients build psychological flexibility and present-moment awareness Use mindfulness and self-as-context to help clients relate differently to thoughts and feelings Teach cognitive defusion skills to help clients gain distance from painful thoughts Help clients clarify values, make workable choices, and move toward what matter Find new and expanded material on self-compassion, flexible perspective taking, and trauma Discover practical scripts, metaphors, worksheets, and experiential exercises to use in session Adapt ACT for a wide range of clinical applications with confidence, flexibility, and skill
Grounded in mindfulness, acceptance, values, and behavior change, ACT Made Simple helps therapists and clinicians move beyond abstract theory and into practical therapeutic conversations. You’ll learn how to help clients stop struggling with their inner experience, recognize what is and isn’t workable, and take meaningful action aligned with the life they want to build.
Whether you’re working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, psychosis, borderline personality disorder (BPD), or trauma, ACT Made Simple is the go-to guide to keep within reach.
