Joe Curran Simon Houghton
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a new model of behavioural treatment that emphasizes acceptance of internal experience while maintaining a focus on positive behaviour change. This approach is designed to address maladaptive avoidance of internal experiences associated with many problems in functioning while also focusing on making and keeping values based commitments. ACT uses a variety of verbal, experiential and homework techniques to help clients make experiential contact with previously avoided private events (thoughts, feelings, sensations), without excessive verbal involvement and control – and to help clients make powerful life enhancing choices. This workshop will explore the theory underlying ACT while also introducing the approach, including an overview of the main components of the therapy. In addition, the presentation will include experiential exercises as demonstration of the kind of work that is done in a therapy session. Specific consideration will be given to the ways in which CBT practitioners can utilise ACT-based interventions, and the theoretical and pragmatic issues associated with this.
