Acceptance and Commitment Therapy For Dummies Paperback – March 14, 2016

I am a former counselor using this as a fresh way to look at ingrained issues I want to change for myself. Don't let the "dummies" title deter you. This is well researched and comprehensive. The information is arranged in way that makes learning and a applying the information easy.

Although I've never been a fan of the name of the "For Dummies" series (anyone who picks up a book with the goal of learning is no dummy), this volume was recommended to me by an ACT practitioner and I'm so glad I bought it.It is the perfect guide to learning and practicing the principles of ACT. Sure, there are more comprehensive guides. But if you're a beginner - and whether you want to learn ACT as a layperson because you've heard what a great guide it is for living your best life or you're a clinician wanting to use these interventions in your practice - this is a book you'll want to buy and refer to again and again.

I went through a class on this topic, the book is helping out on some of the things that weren;t clear in the class. I suspect this will become part of my permanent playlist, like Burns' Feeling Good.

After having read quantities of books about ACT, “Act for Dummies” is – unless you want to get a Ph.D. in it – the best book for “dumb” people who want to understand AND PRACTICE ACT. It’s a simple book, it’s direct, it’s clear, it works! Great job.

My husband loves this book as a counselor and it's been helpful for him to read.

Just as described

Its a great book, lots of ideas to help you out.

somewhat simplistic (I'm a Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist) but it is "easy" to follow
