Association for Contextual Behavioral Science

Workshop Description -- Brisbane Fri July 25 and Sat July 26, 2008
This advanced 2-day clinical workshop will cover the practical application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT, said as one word) for persons suffering from any of the major anxiety disorders and related concerns (e.g., anger, depression). ACT is a newer third-generation evidence-based behavior therapy that balances mindfulness and acceptance processes with commitment and behavior change processes.

Experiential & Core Skills workshop with Steve Hayes. Does not assume a lot of ACT experience.

Parking:
To be held on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno. If you are driving to UNR, here is campus parking information (you can park at meters for free on Sat. & Sun., but you'll need to get a pass on Friday). There is limited free street parking on East 9th St., east of Lake St., it's a longshot but you can try.

Hotels:

Amy Murrell and I will be conducting an experiential workshop at Camp Sister Spirit July 25-27. Camp Sister Spirit about 1.5 hours north of New Orleans, La. All lodging and meals will be included in the workshop fees. The workshop is intended to be hyper, super, mega advanced in nature. This workshop will be open to all students and for professionals with little (or even no) prior exposure to ACT. Given the way we teach, building ACT from the ground up, participants at all levels of familiarity with ACT will benefit.

This is the introductory acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) workshop that is being presented as an opportunity primarily for professionals to be able to experientially contact the ACT approach. A considerable portion of the workshop is expected to be experiential. The remainder will be interspersed with introduction of concepts and theory where necessary. The format and content of the workshop will generally adhere to the design of the weekend ACT workshops conducted by Dr. Stephen Hayes, and will be largely based on the book: Steven C. Hayes, Kirk D. Strosahl, Kelley Wilson (1999).
