THE BIG BOOK OF ACT METAPHORS: A PRACTITIONER’S GUIDE TO EXPERIENTIAL EXERCISES AND METAPHORS IN ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY
Book ID/图书代码： 09700016B97160
English Summary/英文概要： Metaphors and exercises play an incredibly important part in the successful delivery of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These powerful tools go far in helping clients connect with their values and give them the motivation needed to make a real, conscious commitment to change. Unfortunately, many of the metaphors that clinicians use have become stale and ineffective. That’s why you need fresh, new resources for your professional library.
In this breakthrough book, two ACT researchers provide an essential A-Z resource guide that includes tons of new metaphors and experiential exercises to help promote client acceptance, defusion from troubling thoughts, and values-based action. The book also includes scripts tailored to different client populations, and special metaphors and exercises that address unique problems that may sometimes arise in your therapy sessions.
Several ACT texts and workbooks have been published for the treatment of a variety of psychological problems. However, no one resource exists where you can find an exhaustive list of metaphors and experiential exercises geared toward the six core elements of ACT. Whether you are treating a client with anxiety, depression, trauma, or an eating disorder, this book will provide you with the skills needed to improve lives, one exercise at a time.
With a special foreword by ACT cofounder Steven C. Hayes, PhD, this book is a must-have for any ACT Practitioner.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 隐喻和练习在接纳承诺疗法(ACT)中起着极其重要的作用。这些强大的方法可以帮助客户与他们的价值观建立联系，并给予他们做出真正的、有意识的改变所需要的动力。不幸的是，许多临床医生使用的隐喻方法已经变得陈旧和无效。所以这就是为何你需要为你的专业图书馆，提供最新的信息资源。
在这本突破性的工作簿中，两位接纳承诺疗法(ACT)的研究人员提供了一套从头至尾的基本指南，其中包括大量的隐喻和实践练习方法，帮助客户接纳，摆脱困扰的想法，和基于价值观的行动。这本书还涵盖了包括为不同的客户群体量身定制的脚本，以及帮助你解决，在治疗过程中会出现的一些特别问题的，重要隐喻和练习方法。
已经出版了几本治疗各种心理问题的接纳承诺疗法的文章和练习册。然而，没有一种资源可以让你找到一份详尽的隐喻列表和针对接纳承诺疗法的六个核心要素的经验性练习。无论你是在治疗一个患有焦虑、抑郁、创伤或饮食失调的病人，这本书都会为你提供改善生活所需的技巧，每次一项运动。
本书由ACT联合创始人Steven C. Hayes博士撰写的特别前言，是任何ACT实践者的必读之书。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：“ACT has burst upon the psychotherapy scene with creativity, a deep sense of excitement, and, most importantly, strong empirical support. With its premise that human suffering is an unfortunate byproduct of our everyday language and conceptions, metaphors become a more important tool in this therapeutic approach than most others. Now, Jill A. Stoddard, and Niloofar Afari have assembled these metaphors in an entertaining reference book that will be extraordinarily valuable—not only to practitioners of ACT, but to psychotherapists everywhere.”—David H. Barlow PhD, ABPP, professor of psychology and psychiatry at Boston University and founder and director emeritus of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders
“As the interest in ACT has grown internationally, there has been a burgeoning desire to find new and individually relevant metaphors and exercises to use across a variety of settings and clinical populations. This book will certainly satisfy that appetite for those looking for new ways to best connect with their clients. But more importantly, this book will inspire readers to recognize what has been true all along: that the metaphors and exercises that will be most useful are those that draw upon clients’ own experiences. By bringing this compendium together, the authors will inspire clinicians around the world to be more creative in their practice.”—Sonja V. Batten, PhD, president (2013-2014) of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science and adjunct associate professor of psychiatry at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
“A valuable addition to your ACT toolkit.”—Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap
