A CBT Practitioner's Guide to ACT

This long-awaited book teaches mental health professionals how to integrate acceptance-based techniques into their practices.Interest in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is expanding rapidly. Many of those who are interested in ACT were trained using a mechanistic cognitive behavioural therapy model (or MCBT). Utilizing both ACT and MCBT together can be difficult, because the approaches make different philosophical assumptions. The core purpose of the book is to help provide a bridge between ACT and MCBT.
