Kursusbeskrivelse
Acceptance and mindfulness is having a profound impact on clinical practice. In cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) third generation methods are opening up new and important areas of clinical work. Both empirically supported and focused on deep clinical issues, acceptance and mindfulness approaches have been shown to help clients cope with a wide variety of clinical problems, including depression, anxiety, stress, substance abuse, and even psychotic symptoms, with benefits as important for the clinician as they are for clients.
This workshop will show how one of the major new acceptance and mindfulness-based therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), can empower your clinical work. ACT is based on the idea that psychological suffering is usually caused by experiential avoidance, cognitive entanglement, and the resulting failure to take needed behavioral steps in accord with core values. Buttressed by an extensive basic research program on language and cognition, Relational Frame Theory (RFT), ACT takes the view that trying to change difficult thoughts and feelings as a means of coping might can be relatively unhelpful, but new, powerful acceptance and mindfulness-based alternatives are readily available. ACT teaches clients and therapists alike how to alter the way difficult private experiences function rather than having to eliminate them from occurring at all. When combined with values, and committed action, these methods can quickly mobilize even some of our most stuck clients.
This workshop will discuss and demonstrate ACT processes and techniques, particularly acceptance, mindfulness, values and behavioral commitment strategies. You will be taught how to recognize ACT targets in your clients and in yourself, including acceptance, defusion, present moment focus, a transcendent sense of self, values, action, and flexibility. You will learn how to generate methods of intervention that embody those principles and to integrate these with other methods you may prefer. Embodying, targeting, and using these processes provides a working model of a powerful therapeutic relationship. Video examples of how to bring these processes into your routine clinical work will be provided. The distinctions between ACT and traditional CBT models will be discussed and some data presented. The intention of the workshop is to provide clinicians with an introduction to ACT, a beginning set of skills, and with personal experiences that will direct further development of these skills.
