Essential Guide to the ACT Matrix, livre ebook

“If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don’t bother trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking.” — Buckminster Fuller “The Matrix is a profoundly useful approach for teaching psychological flexibility. Simple and direct, it focuses on the most important dimensions in a way that cuts through the conceptual clutter—for ACT therapists and clients alike. Let me say it this way: if you care about ACT, you have to know the Matrix. It’s not optional. And this is the best book yet for learning exactly what it is and how to use it. Highly recommended.” — Steven C. Hayes, PhD , codeveloper of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) “Written in a skillful and highly readable fashion, this volume stands out as a valuable contribution to ACT practitioners looking for a structured, yet flexible, guide for doing brief and effective interventions. The authors have succeeded in providing a manual suitable for private practice, institutional work, and interdisciplinary integration.” — Michel. A. Reyes Ortega, PhD , director of the Contextual Behavioral Science and Therapy Institute in Mexico City, Mexico; and clinical professor of clinical behavior analysis at the National Institute of Psychiatry in Mexico City “This lively and engaging book provides the most comprehensive, accessible, and practical guide yet to the Matrix model in everyday clinical work.
