This book is the most practical clinical guide on Acceptance and
Commit ment Therapy (ACT said as one word, not as initials) yet
available. It is designed to show how the ACT model and techniques
apply to various disorders, settings, and delivery options. The
authors of these chapters are experts in applying ACT in these
various areas, and it is intriguing how the same core principles of
ACT are given a nip here and a tuck there to fit it to so many
issues. The purpose of this book, in part, is to emboldened
researchers and clinicians to begin to apply ACT wherever it seems
to fit. The chapters in the book demonstrate that ACT may be a
useful treat ment approach for a very wide range of clinical
problems. Already there are controlled data in many of these areas,
and soon that database will be much larger. The theory underlying
ACT (Relational Frame Theory or "RFT"-and yes, here you say the
initials) makes a powerful claim: psy chopathology is, to a
significant degree, built into human language. Fur ther, it
suggests ways to diminish destructive language-based functions and
ways of augmenting helpful ones. To the extent that this model is
cor rect, ACT should apply to a very wide variety of behavioral
issues because of the centrality of language and cognition in human
functioning."
