"Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Interpersonal Problems"
presents a complete treatment protocol for therapists working with
clients who repeatedly fall into unhealthy patterns in their
relationships with friends, family members, coworkers, and romantic
partners. These clients may blame others, withdraw when feeling
threatened, react defensively in conflicts, or have a deep-seated
sense of distrust--all interpersonal problems that damage
relationships and cause enormous suffering.
This book presents an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
approach--utilizing a schema-based formulation--to help these
clients overcome maladaptive interpersonal behavior. First, clients
learn how schema avoidance behavior damages their relationships.
Second, clients face "creative hopelessness" and practice new
mindfulness skills. Third, clients examine what they value in their
relationships and what they hope to gain from them, and translate
their values into clear intentions for acting differently in the
future. And lastly, clients face the cognitive and emotional
barriers standing between them and values-based behavior in their
relationships. By learning to act on their values instead of
falling into schema-influenced patterns, clients can eventually
overcome the interpersonal problems that hold them back.
