End: Apr 10 2010 - 5:15pm

Inhoud: Deze cursus is bedoeld als verdieping voor cursisten die eerder een vervolgcursus ACT gedaan hebben. De cursus gaat in op de processen van experiëntiële vermijding en fusie (vuile pijn) als belangrijke barrieres voor verandering van de kant van de cliënt, maar zeker ook van de kant van de therapeut. Er wordt uitgebreid stilgestaan bij het maken van casusconceptualisaties en het leren scoren van de zes kernprocessen zoals zij zich hier-en-nu in de therapeutische relatie voordoen, aan de hand van de scoringsschalen uit ‘mindfulness for two’ (Wilson, 2008).

Start: Apr 10 2010 - 9:00am

End: Apr 10 2010 - 4:00pm

Participants in this workshop should have some familiarity with and experience in using the ACT model. This workshop will focus on applying particular aspects and processes of the ACT model that new learners find ‘sticky’ or ‘tricky’. In particular, we will aim to answer questions such as:

What should I do or say when I get stuck?
Do I need to cover all six processes?
What if a client says “defusion (or acceptance) didn’t work”?
What if they don’t know/can’t say what their values are? Or what if they don’t have any?

ACT in Groups (the webinar is for mh professionals)

Dr. Polk's favorite topic: Group

He and his colleagues have conducted over 2,000 ACT groups, including several hundred Buses.

ACT really shines in group. Tons of ACT is about "languaging" for interpersonal connections, and that comes to life in group much better than during individual work.

We will cover:

I: How to set up a group (cohort or rolling admission).

II: How to get the group into the ACT process.

III: How to set up homework so that it always gets done.
