  1. 1. Acceptance And Commitment Therapy

    An Experiential Approach to Behavior Change
    Cover of 'Acceptance And Commitment Therapy' by Steven Hayes

    A concise, practice-oriented guide to a behavior-change model that cultivates psychological flexibility by teaching acceptance, present-moment awareness, and values-guided action. Grounded in functional contextualism and relational frame theory, it details core processes—defusion, acceptance, self-as-context, contact with the present moment, values, and committed action—and demonstrates their clinical use with exercises, protocols, and case examples across diverse problems.
