Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a powerful,
evidence-based treatment for clients struggling with depression,
anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, and a host of other mental
health conditions. It is based in the belief that the road to
lasting happiness and well-being begins with accepting our
thoughts, rather than trying to change them. However, ACT can
present certain roadblocks during treatment. As a mental health
professional, you may adopt basic principles of ACT easily, but it
generally takes at least two or three years of hard work and
ongoing study to become truly fluid in the model. During that time,
you will probably find yourself "stuck" at some point, and so will
your clients. In Getting Unstuck in ACT, psychotherapist and
bestselling author of ACT Made Simple, Russ Harris, provides
solutions for overcoming the most common roadblocks in ACT. In the
book, you will learn how to deal with reluctant or unmotivated
clients, as well as how to get past certain theoretical aspects of
ACT that some clients may find confusing. This book will help
clients deal with sticky dilemmas and unsolvable problems, and will
help simplify key ACT concepts to help you break down psychological
barriers. Other common problems with ACT that the book addresses
are inconsistencies and sending mixed messages, talking and
explaining ACT instead of doing it, being too eager to treat a
client, being a "Mr. Nice Guy or Ms. Nice Girl," or putting too
much focus on one process while neglecting others. The chapters of
the book are based in real life scenarios that take place between
therapist and client, and the author provides feedback by analyzing
mistakes in what was said and where improvements could be made. As
more and more mental health professionals incorporate ACT into
their practice, it is increasingly necessary to have a guide that
offers them effective solutions to common ACT roadblocks. For that
reason, this book is a must-have for any ACT therapist.
