Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is proven effective in the
treatment of an array of disorders, including addiction,
depression, anxiety, self-harm, eating disorders, and more.
Evidence shows that mindfulness and acceptance exercises help
clients connect with the moment, uncover their true values, and
commit to positive change. But did you know that compassion focused
exercises can also greatly increase clients' psychological
flexibility?
More and more, therapists are finding that the act of
compassion--both towards oneself and towards others--can lead to
greater emotional and physical well-being, increased distress
tolerance, and a broader range of effective responses to stressful
situations. One of the best advantages of compassion focused
methods is how easily they can be integrated into an ACT approach.
An important addition to any ACT professional's library, "The ACT
Practitioner's Guide to the Science of Compassion "explores the
emotionally healing benefits of compassion focused practices when
applied to traditional acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
This book offers case conceptualization, assessments, and direct
clinical applications that integrate ACT, functional analytic
psychotherapy, and compassion focused therapy to enhance your
clinical practice.
This is the first book on the market to provide an in-depth
discussion of compassion in the context of ACT and other behavioral
sciences. The integrative treatment model in this book provides
powerful transdiagnostic tools and processes that will essentially
build bridges across therapies. If you are ready for a new, easily
integrated range of techniques that can be used for a variety of
treatment applications, this guide will prove highly useful. And if
you are looking to build on your previous experience with cognitive
and behavioral therapies, this book will help to enhance your
treatment sessions with clients and increase their psychological
flexibility.
