My interest in mindfulness precedes & pervades my study and use of ACT. In terms of training in ACT, I have attended intensive training workshops with John Forsyth, Ph.D. and Robyn Walser, Psy.D. Starting in 2006, have been working with Kevin Polk, Ph.D. and Jerold Hambright, Ph.D. here at Togus VA Medical Center to develop an ACT-based intensive treatment program for PTSD. Am a regular participant in ongoing ACT peer supervision groups, serving as moderator for our local ACT group at Togus VAMC and participating in the VA-wide ACT conference call moderated by Robyn Walser. Beginning in 2007, in my role as Integrated Primary Care psychologist here at Togus VAMC, I have been enjoying the process of adapting ACT to very brief interventions for a wide range of client presentations and physician referrals.
