These are images that may prove useful in the delivery of ACT. They are in PDF format to allow for clear and accurate printing. Individuals are free to use these in their research and practice, but please note that the images are copyright © Context Press and are not to be used in commercial publications without written permission.
The images come from multiple sources. We will upload this info a little later
The content of the illustrations are as follows:
(A) Illustrates some of the problems engendered by control/avoidance/non-acceptance
(B) Compares and contrasts the medical model vs. the ACT model of psychopathology (including the importance of distinguishing means vs. ends in psychotherapy)
(C) A chart containing multiple examples comparing the behaviorist model vs. cognitive model of causation (i.e., do thoughts really cause behaviors?)
(D) A visual depiction of cognitive defusion
(E) Some illustrations that speak to the approach-avoidance conflict associated with willingness
This is a hexaflex (Hexagon Model of Psychological Flexibility) image that I generated in Word based on the image found in the Practical Guide. It took FOREVER, so I figured it might be worth posting. It IS modifiable if you right or control click and "Ungroup" into the shapes and text boxes I used to make it. Hope this is useful to someone!
--- note added later by Steve Hayes: I've also posted two images that can be placed into documents. One is the Hexaflex model, and a related model of psychopathology. These are MS office "png" images but are not modifiable (the originals are in CorelDraw).
By the way, we deliberately placed these Hexaflex images in multiple places -- including the list serve -- so that no copyright would be enforcable on them by publishers. If you need a citation, however, an easy one is
