This is the book we wrote around the matrix and integrating ACT and FAP. In simple language it takes you on a tour of how to do therapy using ACT, FAP and the matrix. It covers the overal ACT model, therapist tools, intake sessions, case conceptualisation and a thorough rund down of the ACT processes and how to enhance your process work with the relationship and the matrix. It concludes on two appendices, a theoretical one ranging from basic behavioral principles to RFT and an exposition of FAP rules and how to apply them to ACT processes. Richly illustrated with cartoons, clinical vignettes and a wealth of new and more traditional ACT exercices, we think it's a very good book and would love to see it translated in more languages as there is no other book like it right now.
