DESCRIPTION:
Edited by Steven C. An essential resource for mental health and addictions professionals, researchers, and students interested in the most effective treatments for addiction, this book will dramatically impact the way addictions of all kinds are viewed and addressed in therapy. Incorporating new research in the field of psychology, these books are powerful tools for mental health clinicians, researchers, advanced students, and anyone interested in the growth of mindfulness and acceptance strategies.. Hayes, a founder of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and a world renowned authority on mindfulness-based therapy, Mindfulness and Accept
Written in the same spirit of creativity and discovery that has propelled 'third wave therapies' into the mainstream, Levin, Hayes, and their contributors compellingly illustrate how acceptance, mindfulness, and context are vital resources in reducing the seemingly intractable suffering caused by addictive behavior.” Zindel Segal, PhD, author of The Mindful Way through Depression
"For clinicians only" according to Mike Pollard. Great read if you work in the addictions field. But not for the lay person. If you are looking to add an ACT component to your practice or treatment program, this and the "Wisdon to Know the Difference." workbook is an excellent way to do this.
