ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY: INTRODUCTION AND FAITH-BASED APPLICATIONS FOR CHRISTIAN CLIENTS

Course overview

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a third wave cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that is a unique, empirically-based psychological intervention, employing acceptance and mindfulness processes and commitment and behavior change processes to produce psychological flexibility (Hayes & Lillis, 2012). Acceptance and Commitment Theory: Introduction and Faith-Based Applications for Christian Clients integrates empirical evidence with a biblical worldview to offer mental health professionals a faith-based strategy for assisting Christian clients in relating differently to psychological suffering in order to live out their faith with purpose and intentionality.
