The self plays an integral role in human motivation, cognition, and social identity. That's why observing the self is such an important element of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

A must-have addition to any ACT practitioner's library, A Contextual Behavioral Guide to the Self translates the ACT model's most difficult-yet essential-process into easy-to-apply steps and user-friendly language. With this unique road map, clinicians will help clients develop empathy, compassion, and flexible perspective taking-leading to better treatment outcomes and better lives for clients.
