"In this training video, ACT founder Steven Hayes introduces us to Psychological Flexibility and demonstrates related exposure techniques. Hayes defines psychological flexibility as the ability to make contact with experience in the present moment fully and without defense. Utilizing a brief-therapy model of ACT, master ACT clinician Kirk Strosahl helps Maggie come to terms with her difficult relationship with her brother. Hayes then conducts a compelling session with a man diagnosed with OCD. Beginning with a detailed explanation of how exposure is integrated into ACT, Hayes carefully guides the client through the exposure, keeping him open to his own experience rather than letting him shut down. You will learn ways to adapt ACT in brief-therapy settings and situations; how exposure therapy is used within the ACT paradigm, and how to help clients get the most benefit from it; and ways to incorporate relational work within the ACT model. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
