Hej Sverige och svenskar!
I Sverige pågår det såväl forskning som kliniskt arbete inom tredjevågens beteendeterapi. Både inom universitetsvärlden och i den kliniska vardagen appliceras ACT principer med framgång.
Sverige ordnade genom Psyckologpartners Wadström och Wisung den första världskongressen inom ACT/RFT och tredjevågensbeteendeterapi. Sedan dess har det ordnats flera Nordiska ACBS konferenser i Norden.
Vi i Sverige har chapter till ACBS och du kan läsa om den här

TEDxTalk: Psychological flexibility: How love turns pain into purpose - Subtitles in Swedish
TEDxTalk: Psychological flexibility: How love turns pain into purpose - Subtitles in SwedishSubtitles available in Swedish
What can we do to prosper when facing pain and suffering in our lives? More than a thousand studies suggest that a major part of the answer is learning psychological flexibility. Steven C. Hayes is one of the researchers who first identified that process and put it into action in the form of a popular acceptance and mindfulness method called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In this emotional talk, Hayes distills the essence of psychological flexibility down into a few easy to understand sentences. He takes viewers through a harrowing journey into his own panic disorder, to the very moment in his life when he made this life changing choice: I will not run from me. Hayes shows how making that choice allows us to connect with our own deep sense of meaning and purpose, arguing that taking a loving stance to your own pain allows you to bring love and contribution into the world.
Steven C. Hayes is Nevada Foundation Professor at the Department of Psychology at the University of Nevada. An author of 38 books and more than 540 scientific articles, he has shown in his research how language and thought leads to human suffering, and has developed “Acceptance and Commitment Therapy” a powerful therapy method that is useful in a wide variety of areas. His popular book “Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life” was featured in Time Magazine among several other major media outlets and for a time was the number one best selling self-help book in the United States. Dr. Hayes has been President of several scientific societies and has received several national awards, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy.
