Comments
ACT is Groups is Addictive
I am just adding a bit to Pat's comments. As many of you know, the majority of my ACT work has been in groups (about 2000 of them). Group work allows you to see ACT processes in action and it is very, very rewarding. There is a real synergy that can get going in ACT groups among the members and the therapist. My colleague, Dr. Hambright, and I have simply come up with more and more streamlined ways of getting the ACT process started in the first 20 minutes that the group starts.
So if you want to add a real treat to your practice, then assemble a group and start doing ACT with them.
