ACT on Life Group Protocol, The University of Iowa

ACT on Life Group Protocol, The University of Iowa

These documents provided include session-by-session outlines, handouts, and between-session homework assignments to conduct a 10-week skills group based on Acceptance and Commtiment therapy.  This group has been conducted at the University of Iowa since 2012 and has seen several iterations by Drs. Stinson, Brunick, Kinser, and Ethingon.

The first document is the ACT on Life group protocol that Amie Langer Zarling, Ph.D., developed as her dissertation at the University of Iowa. She has given permission for me (Dr. Lanaya Ethington) to share this document, as it was the basis of our development of ACT on Life groups at the University Counseling Service at the University of Iowa.

Starting in 2012, we began facilitating ACT on Life groups that were loosely based on Dr. Langer Zarling's protocol, and we developed a 10-session group with a modified protocol. I have uploaded the description of each group session, as well as handouts and homework. Please note that some of the activities in each session description may refer to internal resources or other ACT materials that are not uploaded here.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (Dr. Lanaya Ethington) at lanaya-ethington@uiowa.edu. I hope this is useful for you!
