This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La terapia de aceptación y compromiso (ACT) es una de las terapias más representativas de las denominadas terapias contextuales. Además, la ACT es parte de una aproximación científica más amplia para desarrollar una psicología científica que responda mejor a la complejidad de la condición humana. Tanto desde la vertiente de investigación básica como de la aplicada, esta terapia está siendo validada a través de múltiples estudios de caso y ensayos clínicos. Se ha probado que la ACT es efectiva en un amplio rango de trastornos psicológicos y de problemas relacionados con la salud. En este libro se muestra cómo la ACT puede ser aplicada a diversos problemas psicológicos en contextos muy diferentes, en formatos distintos y en una variedad de poblaciones. El objetivo es poner a disposición del lector un material práctico en el que se muestran la conceptualización que se hace desde la ACT de los problemas como el trastorno de evitación experiencial (TEE) y las operaciones que el clínico hace en terapia. Así, a través de múltiples ejemplos, se muestra cómo se aplican sus métodos de forma funcional en la práctica clínica. En este sentido, el libro, junto con otros recursos de formación, es una herramienta esencial para que los interesados en esta novedosa terapia puedan profundizar y comprender sus principales componentes y métodos y desarrollar las destrezas necesarias para una aplicación eficaz.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pasados veinte años desde la publicación del primer manual de aceptación psicológica (ACT) por los autores originales y diecisiete desde la publicación del primer manual de ACT en español, el concepto de aceptación que se maneja en la formación, la clínica y la divulgación en la actualidad dista mucho del que se propuso en aquel entonces. Afortunadamente, el conocimiento acumulado ha permitido hacer una definición más precisa de los procesos implicados en la habilidad de la aceptación. En este texto, volvemos a los orígenes para poder seguir avanzando con paso firme y riguroso; y deconstruimos para poder seguir construyendo a partir de los cimientos desde los que surgió la ACT, que son los cimientos del conductismo radical skinneriano. Con la llegada de otras formas de terapia que actualmente conviven con las terapias basadas en la aceptación psicológica, tales como el mindfulness o la psicología positiva, se hace necesario volver a la raíz filosófica y teórica de la aceptación psicológica para delimitar sus posibilidades y establecer las diferencias y los aspectos en común con las anteriores. El propósito de este manual es presentar la aceptación psicológica como proceso y como alternativa terapéutica. No se trata de un manual de una terapia específica, sino de un manual sobre el sustento filosófico, teórico y empírico que explica la elección de la aceptación (radical) del hecho de ser humano como alternativa terapéutica. Sin duda, es el manual que cualquier persona que quisiera adentrarse en la práctica de las terapias basadas en la aceptación debería leer, porque antes de conocer el cómo de la aceptación psicológica (las técnicas), es importante conocer el porqué de dicha aceptación (qué se puede cambiar y qué no, de acuerdo con la filosofía subyacente a las terapias basadas en la aceptación).

This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Cuáles son las habilidades esenciales que los terapeutas han de desarrollar para aplicar eficazmente la terapia de aceptación y compromiso (ACT)? ¿Por qué es necesaria una base sólida en análisis funcional del comportamiento? ¿Cómo pueden aprender los terapeutas a discriminar su propio comportamiento en sesión? ¿Cómo pueden interferir las tendencias personales del terapeuta en la interacción clínica? ¿Cuáles son los problemas más frecuentes a la hora de aplicar la terapia y cómo pueden empezar a solventarse? En esta obra se da respuesta a estas preguntas y se introducen de forma práctica, con un lenguaje comprensible y sin renunciar al rigor, los tres pilares en los que se asienta este acercamiento: los objetivos terapéuticos y los procesos centrales en ACT, los métodos clínicos empleados y las tareas fundamentales que deben realizar los terapeutas a lo largo del proceso terapéutico, haciendo hincapié en las habilidades específicas necesarias para ejecutarlas. El lector encontrará en el libro numerosos ejemplos y diálogos que ilustran con claridad las tareas y habilidades descritas. El manual facilita a los terapeutas las claves para que desarrollen las habilidades necesarias para el tratamiento a través de ACT. Además, es un material de apoyo fundamental que complementa el entrenamiento y la supervisión, fruto de la amplia experiencia de los autores como formadores y entrenadores de ACT, dirigido a los terapeutas que han comenzado a familiarizarse con las terapias psicológicas de tercera generación y específicamente con la terapia de aceptación y compromiso.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) pertenece a lo que ha dado en llamarse terapias de tercera generación que suponen una revisión de los planteamientos cognitivo-conductuales vigentes hasta no hace muchos años. La ACT asienta sus fundamentos teóricos en el contextualismo funcional y en la teoría del marco relacional, lo que implica un cambio radical en la consideración de los elementos del comportamiento humano, que ya no son analizados en su particular individualidad sino en cuanto elementos que forman parte del contexto en el que tiene lugar la propia conducta. En el ámbito de la práctica terapéutica, su aportación fundamental es la despatologización de la experiencia humana. Vivir no es una enfermedad, por dura que sea la realidad; lo verdaderamente patológico consiste en renunciar a las propias vivencias y experiencias vitales, la evitación vivencial. De este modo, la ACT se convierte en una invitación a la vida, a la realización personal a través de la propia trayectoria vital. Su objetivo terapéutico es el desarrollo de la flexibilidad psicológica a la que están enfocadas las distintas técnicas y herramientas recogidas en este manual. Los seguidores de distintos enfoques terapéuticos -Terapia Narrativa, Terapia Gestalt, Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional, PNL, Focusing, Mindfulness, Logoterapia, etc.- encontrarán en esta obra muchas técnicas y conceptos que les resultarán familiares. La ACT, sin embargo, es un enfoque diferente que puede enriquecer la práctica terapéutica de los profesionales de tendencias muy diversas. En el plano operativo, el presente manual aporta gran cantidad de materiales diagnósticos y de seguimiento de aplicabilidad inmediata y aborda, además, la situación vivencial del propio terapeuta en el transcurso de la terapia, sus dudas y temores. Proporciona una visión clara de la relación terapéutica mediante abundantes transcripciones de sesiones y aporta ejemplos concretos de motivación terapéutica mediante metáforas y demás técnicas propias de la ACT.

This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El número de aproximaciones terapéuticas para abordar el sufrimiento humano continúa creciendo, mientras la sociedad se encuentra cada vez más anestesiada, aferrándose a soluciones hedónicas que solo funcionan a corto plazo. Las estimaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud sobre la incidencia de los problemas psicológicos siguen siendo alarmantes desde hace décadas, aunque el dolor psicológico exista desde que lo hace la especie humana. Desde esta obra los autores presentan una forma de intervención psicológica basada en las terapias contextuales, que aborda el sufrimiento humano como tal, sin compartimentarlo o etiquetarlo. Las dificultades se encuentran en los problemas de la vida cotidiana y los trastornos solo serían problemas porque se tornan problemáticos por la forma en la que se intenta solucionarlos. Asimismo, las causas de esos problemas se encuentran en la historia del individuo, no en su mente. El lector interesado en la psicoterapia podrá descubrir, aprender y revisar de nuevo las bases sobre las dos terapias más representativas de tercera generación, basadas en el contextualismo funcional: la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) y la Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional (FAP). Ambos modelos comparten los mecanismos que subyacen al cambio, adscritos a las leyes del aprendizaje donde convergen los esfuerzos por crear un enfoque unificado denominado FACT (Functional-Analytic Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). A través de diferentes investigaciones y revisiones, este híbrido se ha erigido como un sistema eficaz para mejorar la calidad de vida del ser humano con una filosofía particular y aplicaciones en diferentes contextos y condiciones clínicas. Una forma de intervención que se basa en los principios de aprendizaje, el análisis funcional y las interacciones personales y verbales entre terapeuta y cliente. En la obra se recoge esta forma de intervención con lo mejor de ambas terapias (FAP+ACT), ya basadas en la evidencia,(cont.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can spend years in graduate school, internship, and clinical practice. You can learn to skillfully conceptualize cases and structure interventions for your clients. You can have every skill and advantage as a therapist, but if you want to make the most of every session, both you and your client need to show up in the therapy room. Really show up. And this kind of mindful presence can be a lot harder than it sounds. Mindfulness for Two is a practical and theoretical guide to the role mindfulness plays in psychotherapy, specifically acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). In the book, author Kelly Wilson carefully defines mindfulness from an ACT perspective and explores its relationship to the six ACT processes and to the therapeutic relationship itself. With unprecedented clarity, he explains the principles that anchor the ACT model to basic behavioral science. The latter half of the book is a practical guide to observing and fostering mindfulness in your clients and in yourself-good advice you can put to use in your practice right away. Wilson, coauthor of the seminal Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, guides you through this sometimes-challenging material with the clarity, humor, and warmth for which he is known around the world. More than any other resource available, Mindfulness for Two gets at the heart of Wilson's unique brand of experiential ACT training. The book includes a DVD-ROM with more than six hours of sample therapy sessions with a variety of therapists on QuickTime video, DRM-free audio tracks of Wilson leading guided mindfulness exercises, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986 the first research study investigating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was published. It aimed to determine if an early conceptualization of the ACT model could be used to treat depression. Since this seminal study, further investigations have been conducted across every imaginable psychological issue and the rate at which this research has emerged is impressive. This book describes the research journey that ACT has taken in the past 30 years. It also suggests, in light of the progress that has already been made, how ACT research should move forward in the coming decades.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy written by Steven C. Hayes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A CBT Practitioner s Guide to ACT written by Joseph V. Ciarrochi and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2008-12-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is expanding rapidly. Many of those who are interested in ACT are trained using a mechanistic cognitive behavioral therapy model (or MCBT). Utilizing both ACT and MCBT together can be difficult, because the approaches make different philosophical assumptions and have different theoretical models. The core purpose of the book is to help provide a bridge between ACT and MCBT. The emphasis of this book will be applied psychology, but it will also have important theoretical implications. The book will highlight where ACT and MCBT differ in their predictions, and will suggest directions for future research. It will be grounded in current research and will make clear to the reader what is known and what has yet to be tested. The core theme of A CBT-Practitioner's Guide to ACT is that ACT and CBT can be unified if they share the same philosophical underpinnings (functional contextualism) and theoretical orientation (relational frame theory, or RFT). Thus, from a CBT practitioner's perspective, the mechanistic philosophical core of MCBT can be dropped, and the mechanistic information processing theory of CBT can be held lightly and ignored in contexts where it is not useful. From an ACT practitioner's perspective, the decades of CBT research on cognitive schema and dysfunctional beliefs provides useful information about how clients might be cognitively fused and how this fusion might be undermined. The core premise of the book is that CBT and ACT can be beneficially integrated, provided both are approached from a similar philosophical and theoretical framework. The authors acknowledge that practitioners often have little interest in extended discussions of philosophy and theory. Thus, their discussion of functional contextualism and RFT is grounded clearly in clinical practice. They talk about what functional contextualism means for the practitioner in the room, with a particular client. They describe how RFT can help the practitioner to understand the barriers to effective client action.

Download or read book The Big Book of ACT Metaphors written by Jill A. Stoddard and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metaphors and exercises play an incredibly important part in the successful delivery of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These powerful tools go far in helping clients connect with their values and give them the motivation needed to make a real, conscious commitment to change. Unfortunately, many of the metaphors that clinicians use have become stale and ineffective. That’s why you need fresh, new resources for your professional library. In this breakthrough book, two ACT researchers provide an essential A-Z resource guide that includes tons of new metaphors and experiential exercises to help promote client acceptance, defusion from troubling thoughts, and values-based action. The book also includes scripts tailored to different client populations, and special metaphors and exercises that address unique problems that may sometimes arise in your therapy sessions. Several ACT texts and workbooks have been published for the treatment of a variety of psychological problems. However, no one resource exists where you can find an exhaustive list of metaphors and experiential exercises geared toward the six core elements of ACT. Whether you are treating a client with anxiety, depression, trauma, or an eating disorder, this book will provide you with the skills needed to improve lives, one exercise at a time. With a special foreword by ACT cofounder Steven C. Hayes, PhD, this book is a must-have for any ACT Practitioner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step-by-step guidance for implementing process-based therapy in practice Evidence-based mental health treatments—including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)—have long been defined in terms of scientifically validated protocols focused on syndromes. This is rapidly changing. A process focus is now emerging for evidence-based therapies, as the era of “protocols for syndromes,” passes away. This groundbreaking book offers concrete strategies for adopting a process-based approach in your clinical practice, and provides step-by-step guidance for formulating effective treatment plans. Written by renowned psychologists Steven C. Hayes and Stefan G. Hofmann, this manual will show you how to utilize the core competencies of process-based therapy (PBT) in a way that honors the behavioral, cognitive, and acceptance and mindfulness wings of CBT and builds bridges to other models. In the book, you’ll find a comprehensive road map to the theoretical foundations of PBT, as well as techniques for creating customized treatments that address the unique needs of each client—leading to better therapeutic outcomes. Whether you’re a clinician or student of the behavioral sciences, this book has everything you need to understand and implement PBT in your work.

Download or read book Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Eating Disorders written by Emily Sandoz and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Process-Focused Guide to Treating Eating Disorders with ACT At some point in clinical practice, most therapists will encounter a client suffering with an eating disorder, but many are uncertain of how to treat these issues. Because eating disorders are rooted in secrecy and reinforced by our culture's dangerous obsession with thinness, sufferers are likely to experience significant health complications before they receive the help they need. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Eating Disorders presents a thorough conceptual foundation along with a complete protocol therapists can use to target the rigidity and perfectionism at the core of most eating disorders. Using this protocol, therapists can help clients overcome anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other types of disordered eating. This professional guide offers a review of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as a theoretical orientation and presents case conceptualizations that illuminate the ACT process. Then, it provides session-by-session guidance for training and tracking present-moment focus, cognitive defusion, experiential acceptance, transcendent self-awareness, chosen values, and committed action-the six behavioral components that underlie ACT and allow clients to radically change their relationship to food and to their bodies. Both clinicians who already use ACT in their practices and those who have no prior familiarity with this revolutionary approach will find this resource essential to the effective assessment and treatment of all types of eating disorders.

Download or read book Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders written by Georg H. Eifert and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT (pronounced as a word rather than letters), is an emerging psychotherapeutic technique first developed into a complete system in the book Acceptance and Commitment Therapy by Steven Hayes, Kirk Strosahl, and Kelly Wilson. ACT marks what some call a third wave in behavior therapy. To understand what this means, it helps to know that the first wave refers to traditional behavior therapy, which works to replace harmful behaviors with constructive ones through a learning principle called conditioning. Cognitive therapy, the second wave of behavior therapy, seeks to change problem behaviors by changing the thoughts that cause and perpetuate them. In the third wave, behavior therapists have begun to explore traditionally nonclinical treatment techniques like acceptance, mindfulness, cognitive defusion, dialectics, values, spirituality, and relationship development. These therapies reexamine the causes and diagnoses of psychological problems, the treatment goals of psychotherapy, and even the definition of mental illness itself. ACT earns its place in the third wave by reevaluating the traditional assumptions and goals of psychotherapy. The theoretical literature on which ACT is based questions our basic understanding of mental illness. It argues that the static condition of even mentally healthy individuals is one of suffering and struggle, so our grounds for calling one behavior 'normal' and another 'disordered' are murky at best. Instead of focusing on diagnosis and symptom etiology as a foundation for treatment-a traditional approach that implies, at least on some level, that there is something 'wrong' with the client-ACT therapists begin treatment by encouraging the client to accept without judgment the circumstances of his or her life as they are. Then therapists guide clients through a process of identifying a set of core values. The focus of therapy thereafter is making short and long term commitments to act in ways that affirm and further this set of values. Generally, the issue of diagnosing and treating a specific mental illness is set aside; in therapy, healing comes as a result of living a value-driven life rather than controlling or eradicating a particular set of symptoms. Emerging therapies like ACT are absolutely the most current clinical techniques available to therapists. They are quickly becoming the focus of major clinical conferences, publications, and research. More importantly, these therapies represent an exciting advance in the treatment of mental illness and, therefore, a real opportunity to alleviate suffering and improve people's lives. Not surprisingly, many therapists are eager to include ACT in their practices. ACT is well supported by theoretical publications and clinical research; what it has lacked, until the publication of this book, is a practical guide showing therapists exactly how to put these powerful new techniques to work for their own clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders adapts the principles of ACT into practical, step-by-step clinical methods that therapists can easily integrate into their practices. The book focuses on the broad class of anxiety disorders, the most common group of mental illnesses, which includes general anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Written with therapists in mind, this book is easy to navigate, allowing busy professionals to find the information they need when they need it. It includes detailed examples of individual therapy sessions as well as many worksheets and exercises, the very important 'homework' clients do at home to reinforce work they do in the office. The book comes with a CD-ROM that includes electronic versions of all of the worksheets in the book as well as PowerPoint and audio features that make learning and teaching these techniques easy and engagin
