A research-proven program to introduce therapists to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Robert D. Zettle PhD

Written by one of the pioneering researchers into the effectiveness of ACT, for the treatment of depression, this is a much-needed professional resource for therapists.  It develops the techniques of ACT into a session-by-session approach to be used with clients suffering from depression.

ACT for Depression delves into the specifics of structuring interventions using the ACT method of acceptance and values-based behavior change.  It introduces therapists to the ACT model on theoretical, and case-conceptual levels. It is the first professional book to outline the conceptual roots, empirical basis, and practical application of ACT for depression.
