Exposure therapy — a well-studied method of psychotherapeutic interventions, through which clients learn to confront frightening stimuli that cause them anxiety and resist avoidant behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — is an evidence-based model of psychotherapy that lays the theoretical foundation for the application of exposure techniques. The therapist helps the client to recognize their values, focus on the present moment in their life, and increase behavioral flexibility. This comprehensive guide describes a procedural approach to conducting exposure interventions based on ACT and offers many new ideas aimed at improving the effectiveness of therapeutic work with clients.
The authors of the book generously share with readers theoretical knowledge, their own clinical experience, as well as the latest research findings. The book provides an overview of exposure therapy and ACT, and demonstrates how to take into account sociocultural aspects when working with clients from different social strata. The strategies discussed in the book will help readers adapt exposure interventions to the needs of specific clients, while also avoiding typical therapeutic mistakes and traps. The book will be an important addition to the library of professional literature for psychotherapists, whether you are a beginner or already have experience applying exposures in other models of psychotherapy and want to incorporate ACT into your therapeutic practice.
