Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based therapy that aims to teach psychological flexibility.  In ACT, we do not attempt to change one’s thoughts, but rather work toward accepting them and living a meaningful, value-based life. 

The workbook and guide is organized into seven sections.  Each section is organized by the concepts in ACT.

  1.  Introduction to ACT.  Common terms and an overview of the six core processes.
  2. What does the clinician do?  Guide on structuring your sessions, case-conceptualization, and assessment tools
  3. The function of behavior and an overview of the Choice Point, The Matrix, and life compass.  
  4. Control is the problem: Dissecting the problem, creating behavioral goals, and exercises on experiential avoidance, the miracle question, and a seven-day documentary exercise. 
  5. Mindfulness:  Acceptance, Defusion, and the use of metaphors 
  6. Values: Core values, committed action
  7. Goal setting: Effective goals, worksheets, and committed action
