This outstanding book offers clinicians a clear understanding of
the traps of language and the paradoxical implications of trying to
control our internal experiences. The authors bring years of
experience working with survivors of trauma and a comprehensive
grasp of their topic to this lucid explanation of acceptance and
commitment therapy. Each of the treatment components is presented
clearly and succinctly, yet integrated into a comprehensive whole.
Illustrative case examples and session transcripts offer a vivid
picture of the ACT approach.
