This workshop will provide a step-by-step framework for functionally conceptualizing client behavior problems, and will discuss selection and application of specific ACT interventions. The workshop will also help attendees develop their own ACT consistent interventions, exercises, and metaphors.
Attendees will become familiar with the six core ACT principles of defusion, self-as-context, acceptance, values, committed action, and contacting the present moment, and will become able to conceptualize clinically relevant behaviors as functional response classes, and discriminate when they are amenable to an ACT approach. Attendees will be able to select ACT interventions appropriate for addressing specific core principles and will learn how to apply specific ACT interventions based on the case formulation.
The workshop will use a case-based approach beginning with instructor supplied cases and later using participants’ cases for practice in ACT case formulation, selecting interventions, and assessing the effectiveness of interventions.
There will be a didactic slide presentation, plus participant demonstrations, large group exercises and case-based practice. Participants will be provided with handouts to use with their clients for assessment and homework assignments to augment in session interventions. Worksheets will also be distributed for the participants to use to facilitate ACT case formulation.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This workshop is suitable for clinicians with little exposure to ACT who would like to learn how to apply ACT broadly. It is also suitable for participants who have attended ACT experiential workshops and would like to improve their skill in functional contextual case formulation and deciding when to apply specific ACT interventions.
