New Directions in the Treatment of PTSD
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) offers a promising,
empirically validated approach to the treatment of post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma related problems. In this
volume, you'll find a complete theoretical and practical guide to
making this revolutionary new model work in your practice.
After a quick overview of PTSD, the first part of Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy for the Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress

experiential avoidance as it relates to trauma and explores the
verbal nature of post-traumatic stress. You'll learn the importance
of mindfulness and acceptance in the ACT model, find out how to
structure sessions with your clients, and examine the problem of
control. The section concludes by introducing you to the idea of
creative hopelessness as the starting point for creating a new,
workable life after trauma.
The book's second section offers a practical, step-by-step
clinical guide to the six core ACT components in chronological
order: Creative hopelessnessThe problem of controlWillingness and

Each chapter explains how to introduce these topics to clients
suffering from PTSD, illustrates each with case examples, and
offers homework for your clients to use between sessions.
