Committed Action in Practice, livre ebook

“Committed action for specific behavior change is perhaps the most important piece of the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) puzzle, and it is all too often overlooked. Some of the true ACT pioneers and the brightest minds in behavior therapy have given you the perfect roadmap to take your clients from possibility to action.
