I was inspired to comment on this book because I think it is one of the best books I have read on ACT. In fact, I think it is helpful to any therapist who encounters these common problems in therapy. The tips and strategies are just good solutions to common therapeutic challenges. I consider myself to be a cognitive behavior therapist and not an ACT-specific therapist. Prior to reading this book, I was skeptical about ACT because I had some misconceptions about it. This book has clearly explained to me how to use ACT in a logical and practical way. I see and hear many therapists using ACT in non-ACT ways. For example, it is quite common that non-ACT therapists incorporate a few ACT concepts into therapy and say "now I am doing ACT." Or they talk about ACT without getting experiential. This is why I had been frustrated with ACT in the past. I did not see ACT as a complete psychotherapy system. The section on ACT case conceptualization was quite helpful in showing how ACT can be an all-encompassing approach to behavior change. I also like that Russ Harris explains ACT in normal language. Many books about ACT use confusing language. This book is easy to read and understand. I guess my biggest pet peeve about ACT has been that it has renamed itself "ACT" as though it is separate and different from cognitive behavior therapy. The way ACT is presented in this book is completely consistent with CBT. ACT talks about changing thoughts as defusion and perhaps the process of defusion is less direct than cognitive restructuring but, in the end, it has a similar goal. I find many ACT concepts are similar to CBT concepts, just approached from a less direct angle, with less focus on specific content, and using ACT words and language. However, CBT is also moving away from content to a greater focus on a metacognitive and process level especially with OCD treatment. I love that Russ Harris says that talking to clients about acceptance can be invalidating. This is so true. I feel that some ACT therapists as well as non-ACT therapists "force" acceptance on their clients. I think this book is a great beginning to learning ACT. I wish I had read it before reading some of the other books on ACT because this book has opened me up to accepting ACT and now I am eager to learn more about ACT. I'll be reading ACT Made Simple next. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ how to get unstuck *by M***Y on November 21, 2023* This is a great book on ways to get unstuck when you are working with clients and you hit that preverbal wall. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource for experienced ACT therapists *by M***E on June 22, 2014* Used with "Advanced Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: The Experienced Practitioners....", it will assist in bettering your understanding and applications of the ACT model.
