Chinese Summary/中文概要： 心理研究表明，认知行为疗法(CBT)，单独使用或联合药物治疗，是对抑郁症最有效的治疗方法。然而，最近的发现表明，CBT治疗抑郁症的过程可能与我们之前猜测的不同。CBT治疗工作的既定目标是挑战和重组可能导致抑郁情绪的非理性想法。但最近的研究结果表明，认知行为疗法的另两个副作用实际上可能比思维重组对病人进展的影响更大: 这两种“距离化”(distancing)和“去中心化”(decentering)的重要性在认知治疗模式，帮助病人停止抑郁复发和行为激活( Behavioral activation, BA) 技术，这一技术帮助他或她重新参与自然愉快的环境，并获得有益的活动。传统的认知行为疗法的这两个组成部分是新的接受与承诺疗法(ACT)的中心。本书发展了接受与承诺疗法ACT的技术，成为一个逐次访谈指南的方法，治疗师可以用来治疗抑郁症患者。在ACT抑郁症研究中概述的经过研究验证的项目在理论和案例概念层面上向治疗师介绍了ACT模型。作者是研究接受与承诺疗法ACT治疗抑郁症有效性的先驱之一，这本书是成千上万对ACT疗法越来越感兴趣的治疗师急需的专业资源。(Sandy)

Depression is the number one mental health problem seen in clinical practice and any clinician
interested in practicing acceptance and commitment therapy is going to want to have this book
within easy reach. Zettle provides a well thought out, easy to understand approach to treat-
ing the depressed client using the ACT framework. Capitalizing on his many years of clinical
experience using the ACT model, Zettle offers numerous practical insights into managing the
ongoing process of therapy, and uses brief case examples to highlight key points. The session by
session ACT protocol described in the second half of the book will be a fantastically useful aid
to clinicians in the field.

An Experiential Approach to Behavior Change and A Practical Guide to
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
This professional book is the first to outline the conceptual roots, empirical basis, and practical
application of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for unipolar depression. In a clear
and accessible style, the author guides mental health professionals and students alike in the
strategic application of ACT as a supplement or alternative approach to available treatments
for depression. Readers learn how to integrate and use acceptance and mindfulness strate-
gies with commitment and behavior change strategies to help depressed clients live better, not
simply to feel better. The book includes several well-crafted examples, clinical dialogues, and
practical exercises, and a step-by-step integration of the material into a twelve-session protocol.
It is a vital clinical resource for professionals who are committed to helping restore the lives of
those who are stuck and wallowing in depression and misery.
