Description
Summary:Hayes, Strosahl and Wilson bring us a new edition of their original work titled "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: An experiential approach to behavior change (1999)", in which they synthesize the main theoretical and methodological foundations of what is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or, simply, ACT (namely: the acronym is read as a single word "act", which evokes from the English the "implication with life"). The ACT lays its foundations in functional contextualism and in the theory of the relational framework (RFT) to understand and explain the various human problems, in that line, it proposes psychological flexibility as a unified model of human functioning, thus ACT aims to help those who are suffering through the development of a practice of psychology that is more respectful of the challenge that implies humanity.
