Reviews

""Clearly written, entertaining, informative, and very clinically focused."" - Kirk Strosahl, PhD, cofounder of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ""Timothy Gordon and Jessica Borushok have written a superb therapeutic guide for conducting ACT. In clear prose, with engaging illustrative examples, they explain ACT and show how practitioners can use ACT to help their clients live meaningful lives consistent with their values. I strongly recommend it."" -- Andrew Christensen, PhD, Distinguished Research Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, Co-developer and author of Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) Learning ACT is often confusing. This great book takes an interested clinician by the hand and leads them through a challenging learning path. Written by working clinicians for working clinicians, the book is engaging and clear. Particularly useful are the places where the authors discuss how they apply ACT principles to their own lives and the clinical transcripts. It seems the clinicians learn best by seeing the work. And the transcripts give a very clear sense of how to do ACT in a natural, non techique-y manner. Transitioning to ACT doesn t mean letting go of the clinical practices that work, but adding precision, scope and depth to the processes. I highly recommend this book. --Joanne Steinwachs, LCSW, Peer Reviewed ACT Trainer
