Description
More than just a set of techniques that shapes a particular client's treatment, a psychotherapeutic model acts like a lens through which a therapist looks at both individual cases and psychology in general. Case conceptualization guides help therapists learn how to see through the lens of a particular model. They show professionals how to take a collection of theories and actually put them into practice. This book performs this useful function, for the very first time, for acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a popular new treatment model.The first section of the book offers an introduction to ACT, an overview of the impact of ACT, and brief introduction to the "Hexaflex Model". It describes how to accomplish case conceptualizations in general and offers precis of the literature on the importance and value of case conceptualization generally. The first section closes with descriptions of the first, second, and third wave of behaviour therapy with explanations of how the different waves would have treated hypothetical clients in specific situations. The second section of the book covers ways that different ACT approaches can be applied to actual practice.Stock Information
