Book Description
The research-proven program outlined in the book introduces therapists to the ACT model on theoretical and case-conceptual levels. Then it delves into the specifics of structuring interventions for clients with depression using the ACT method of acceptance and values-based behavior change. Written by one of the pioneering researchers into the effectiveness of ACT for the treatment of depression, this book is a much-needed professional resource for the tens of thousand of therapists who are becoming ever more interested in ACT.

 ACT For Depression: You'll love it! January 19, 2008

Folks, this is an absolute must-read for anyone who works with depression. It's accessible, easy-to-read, written with great clarity, goes through the ACT model in more depth than any previously-published ACT book, and gives excellent guidance on how to apply the model to a myriad of different clinical issues with depression. One thing I really like about it, that differentiates it from other ACT clinical guides, is that it's NOT written as a protocol (ie session 1 you do XYZ, session 2 you do ABC etc). Of course, there's nothing wrong with protocol-style books; John Forsyth and Robyn Walser have both written fantastic ones on ACT with PTSD and Anxiety Disorders. It's just that, in my opinion, the drawback to a protocol is it doesn't allow you any flexibility; there's no wiggle-room. What I like about Rob's book is it talks about classes of problems and classes of interventions, so you can put it all together to fit your client's presentation, rather than trying to get the client to fit your protocol. It's also jam-packed full of useful resources and client handouts.
Cheers, Russ
