  • Jansen, G. (2006). Denk wat I wilt doe wat I droomt: op weg naar waardevol leven. Amsterdam: Uitgeverij Nieuwezijds.
    • An ACT-related book in Dutch. Some discussion between ACT and Cognitive Therapy in this book, but it is not possible to make such discrimination out of a language community. The book definitely puts a number of ACT concepts forward for consideration.
Finnish (Suomi)
French (Français)
  • Dionne, F., & Veillette, J. (2021). Apprivoiser la douleur chronique avec ACT: un guide de pratique en 10 modules. Paris, France : Dunod.
    • La douleur chronique constitue un enjeu de santé publique important et pose plusieurs défis cliniques et personnels pour le praticien. La thérapie d’acceptation et d’engagement (ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) propose des stratégies thérapeutiques originales et efficaces pour améliorer la qualité de vie des gens souffrant de cette problématique.
    • Son objectif n’est pas de modifier les symptômes, mais de faire évoluer le rapport du patient à leur égard, de la lutte vers l’acceptation active de la douleur, et l’engagement dans des activités en cohérence avec ses valeurs personnelles.
  • Monestès, J. L. (2010). Changer grâce à Darwin. La théorie de votre évolution. Paris: Odile Jacob.
    • Darwin nous a appris comment l’évolution avait façonné notre espèce. Mais sa théorie peut aussi être utile à chacun d’entre nous au quotidien !
    • Cet ouvrage explique comment les mécanismes naturels qui ont fait leur preuve pour l’espèce humaine peuvent aider chacun de nous à évoluer dans sa vie : nous pouvons favoriser une sélection de nos comportements, et ne plus laisser le hasard gérer notre destin.
    • Il propose de nombreux outils pratiques fondés sur la thérapie d’acceptation et d’engagement et les thérapies cognitives et comportementales : dépasser les obstacles au changement, créer de la variation, développer sa curiosité au monde, mais aussi, quand il le faut, accepter les choses comme elles viennent, ne rien changer, cesser de vouloir contrôler l’incontrôlable….
    • Un « darwinisme personnel » pour faciliter votre propre évolution !
    • This book presents a selectionist approach of behaviors. It proposes advice and tools to commit in direction of values and to walk through acceptance, by using concepts from Darwinism and ACT.
  • Schoendorff, B. (2009). Faire Face à la Souffrance, Choisir la vie plutôt que la lutte avec la Thérapie d'Acceptation et d'Engagement.

  • Monestès, J. L. (2009). Faire la paix avec son passé. Paris: Odile Jacob.
    • Nos souvenirs, particulièrement les plus douloureux, nous incitent à la lutte pour éviter leur réapparition. Ce livre sur la mémoire développe de nombreux concepts de l’ACT et les applique aux souvenirs des événements que nous aurions préféré ne pas vivre.
    • It is our natural tendency to struggle when we are confronted to hurting memories. We would prefer to erase them if we could. This book on memory uses ACT concepts to deal with memories of events we would rather not have lived.

Samtaler som forandrer - behandlerens guide til ACT i teori og praksis

Samtaler som forandrer - behandlerens guide til ACT i teori og praksis

Drømmer du om at lære de effektive, evidensbaserede og håndgribelige strategier, som skaber vilde og varige forandringer for dine klienter og for dig selv? Samtaler som forandrer er behandlerens guide til ACT i teori og praksis. Bogen er skrevet af Rikke Kjelgaard, en af Danmarks største kapaciteter inden for ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Her får du som behandler en grundig introduktion til ACT med masser af kliniske eksempler og øvelser. Du bliver præsenteret for de grundlæggende begreber og for modellens bærende principper. Du får en gennemgang af kerne­processerne i ACT samt eksempler på, hvordan disse processer udspiller sig i det terapeutiske møde. Du følger med i en række samtaler som netop demonstrerer kerneprocesserne. Du lærer at lave sagskonceptuali­se­ring, at skabe fleksibilitetsprofiler, og du lærer, hvordan du designer dine egne metaforer. Du får desuden en række generelle tips til, hvad du skal gøre – og hvad du skal undgå at gøre – for at skabe samtaler, som forandrer.
