Overview of ACT for psychosis recovery
This book offers valuable insights on how to facilitate ACT in group settings. Using the ‘Passengers on the bus’ metaphor as a central tool it provides practical guidance on introducing mindfulness and values-based action in a manner that is both engaging and memorable. You will discover useful tips and strategies to assist clients in identifying their valued directions. Additionally, you will learn how to help clients respond flexibly to psychotic symptoms, thoughts, and emotions that have hindered their ability to live a fulfilling life. The book equips readers with techniques to lead workshops that promote compassion and increase connection among participants.
The book also shares techniques for engaging individuals in groups, particularly those who may traditionally be considered “hard to reach” or are cautious about mental health services. It also provides valuable insights on how to engage people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, allowing for a more inclusive and culturally sensitive approach.
