Self-Guided ACT ResourcesReviewsThis manual targets a central challenge of ACT * how to move from learning about the therapy to actually doing it * Wow! What a useful and clear guide to starting out in ACT! I wish I'd had this book when I was an ACT newbie * would have saved me so much anxiety, confusion and self-doubt. (And it also would have saved my clients from so many of the common beginners' mistakes I repeatedly made!) Full of wisdom and packed with practical strategies, I can highly recommend this book for any therapist or counselor who's early on in their ACT journey. * The authors are right: I have always said that the best way to begin actually doing ACT (after experiential contact with it and exposure to its principles) is to follow a step by step manual with several cases. That ensures you will practice all aspects of the approach and it distills the learning process down to smaller bits that are easier to handle. There are other beginning ACT manuals out there but this may now be my favorite. Thorough and yet simple, this well-written and wise volume gently pushes you forward to learn ACT, one step at a time.
