Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- ACT Background and Training
Studied ACT with Steve Hayes and Victoria Follette at the University of Nevada Reno from 1994 to 1999. During that time, primarily utilized ACT in the treatment of individuals dealing with posttraumatic problems in living, substance abuse, and depression. Was a project therapist on the grant evaluating the efficacy of ACT for polysubstance abusing opiate addicts, and collaborated with other study personnel on the development of the ACT protocol for this population. Have continued work on treatment development of ACT for PTSD and PTSD comorbid with substance abuse, collaborating with Sue Orsillo, Steve Hayes, and others. Have conducted ACT workshops since 1998 and provided specialized training in ACT for PTSD and PTSD/Substance Abuse at the ACT Summer Institutes in 2004 and 2005. In 2005, I was the Director for the ACT Summer Institute in Philadelphia and also conducted an intensive experiential workshop at the Institute that year.
