Contextual Behavioral Guide to the Self, livre ebook

“It is rare to find a good book on the ‘self,’ much less any book on the self, that provides a crystal clear picture of what we mean by the self. A Contextual Behavioral Guide to the Self creates a marvelous balance between cutting-edge science and practical clinical applications to help the practicing clinician effectively intervene with a variety of self-related problems. The writing is exceptionally clear and the clinical examples make important points seem easy to grasp. Getting a handle on what exactly we mean by ‘self’ and how to work to improve self-related functioning has been a serious, long-term challenge in clinical psychology. This book moves us forward in a major way. Highly recommended!” — Kirk Strosahl, PhD , cofounder of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and coauthor of Inside This Moment “ A Contextual Behavioral Guide to the Self is a gold mine of information that can empower both your knowledge and your practice. The book is a masterful guide to some of our most advanced research on ‘self’ experience. I would recommend this to anyone seeking to deepen their ACT practice, or their understanding of what it is to be human and to have ‘a self. ’” — Dennis Tirch, PhD , founder of The Center for Compassion Focused Therapy, associate clinical professor at Mount Sinai, and coauthor of The ACT Practitioner’s Guide to the Science of Compassion “This is a truly remarkable book.
