Turrell and Bell emphasize the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) view of person-in-environment, linking the interdependence and mutual influence of adolescents in their social and physical environments.

Readers will gain novel and practical ACT approaches to working with adolescents.” — Timothy Gordon MSW, RSW , social worker; ACT instructor at McMaster University in Hamilton, ON, Canada; and peer-reviewed ACT trainer “Sheri Turrell and Mary Bell have developed a step-by-step approach to using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with teenagers, in individual and group treatment, brimming with new exercises and metaphors, and creatively adapted traditional ACT interventions. Amongst the strengths of this book are its integration of self-compassion training and the powerful ACT matrix model.” — Benjamin Schoendorff , international ACT trainer; director of the Contextual Psychology Institute in Montreal, QC, Canada; and coauthor of The Essential Guide to the ACT Matrix “ ACT for Adolescents is a well-written resource that steps therapists through the hexaflex model, session by session.
