Title
Acceptance is Not Surrender: Applications of ACT in Treating Substance Use Disorders - M. Bricker
Book page
To many clients - and come clinicians - ACT may seem like new and uncharted territory, thus complicating acceptance of the model. This workshop draws parallels between ACT and 2 other more widely recognized "best practices" - 12 Step Facilitation, and the Transtheoretical or "Stages of Change" model. Exploring these commonalities may help increase the usefulness of ACT for both clients and clinicians. Powerpoint attached below. (viewable to paid ACBS members only) Michael Bricker
