Training based on the ACT Life Manual
Kevin Polk, Ph.D. Togus VA and Private Practice. I have been involved in training interns and post doctoral fellows for 17 years. Since September of 2005 I helped develop an quick/intensive form of ACT treatment and training utilizing the Life Manual*. My goal in ACT training is to quickly teach someone the core skills of ACT. We can accomplish the basic training in just a few phone calls. If you like ACT we will then work on developing your "ACT Stance." I have done several private workshops in the state of Maine. The ACT community was introduced to my therapy and training style in "ACT Gone Wild" at ACT Summer Institute III in Houston. So far in 2008 I will be doing training in the Netherlands and Israel. I regularly do phone consultation/training with individuals or groups.
I am currently working on two books based on this simple approach to ACT. One is with my colleagues with the running title ACT Training Made Simple. The other a self help book called Turning Stress Into Success.
*The Life Manual is a powerful tool for rapidly training someone in the basics of ACT.
