Balancing Acceptance & Change in the Treatment of Anxiety Disorders (with John P. Forsyth)
This workshop presents a unified Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT, pronounced as one word) treatment protocol for persons suffering from any of the mayor anxiety disorders and co-occurring addictive behaviors. ACT is a newer third-generation behavior therapy that balances mindfulness and acceptance processes with commitment and behavior change processes.
ACT is a process-guided approach to psychological suffering and its alleviation, not a set of intervention technologies matched to specific DSM disorders. Clients learn that inflexible attempts to manage and control anxiety are the problem, not solution. And, they learn that there is another way into their lives that does not require them to think and feel well (meaning less anxious) first in order to live well.
Facilitator: John P. Forsyth, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Psychology, Director of Clinical Training, and Director of the Anxiety Disorders Research Program in the Department of Psychology at the University at Albany, State University of New York. He has written widely on acceptance and experiential avoidance, and the role of emotion regulatory processes in anxiety disorders, and has been doing basic and applied clinical research related to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the anxiety disorders for well over 10 years. He is author of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders, ACT on Life, Not on Anger, and a forthcoming self-help book titled "The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety."
