There is a new wave of applied research into contextually-oriented, acceptance-based approaches to psychotherapy. The nearly exclusive focus on direct, change-oriented techniques that characterized the first major wave of empirical investigations is changing. Acceptance-based approaches are not new, but for the first time the theoretical and methodological skills of modern empirical psychology are being applied to these issues. Researchers are doing basic analyses, developing new techniques, developing assessment methods, and writing therapy manuals. This book is the first to share these exciting developments with the field. This is the first volume to focus entirely on psychological acceptance methods from the point of view of modern empirical clinical psychology. Some of the best known authors in the field share their thoughts and approaches in this ground-breaking new volume. Contents:
