Description
This workshop provides a chance to learn a concrete method for conceptualizing cases from the perspective of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and a chance to apply it in small and large group discussions. You will also be asked to be ready to be ready to work on a difficult case that you are seeing. As ACT is an experiential approach to behavior change, the workshop will also include some experiential components.
AUDIENCE
This workshop is intended for those with little knowledge of ACT to those with an intermediate experience. Participants should have a beginning familiarity with ACT and have read at least something on ACT prior to beginning the workshop. Those coming to the workshop without any prior reading or experience will still benefit, but will probably not take away as much. This workshop is highly recommended for those who have previously attended an experiential weekend workshop, since this is more of a “how-to” workshop.
WORKSHOP LEADER
Jason Luoma is a clinical psychologist, director of the Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, and Training Center in Portland, Oregon, and a grant-funded researcher with the University of Nevada, Reno. His research focuses on the application of ACT to the alleviation of burnout in counselors, ACT as an intervention for the stigma of substance abuse, and the dissemination and training of evidence-based therapies. He also has an active clinical practice and has provided training and supervision in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy at national and international levels. He directed the first ACT Summer Training Institute and trained with Steve Hayes in Reno for 3.5 years. He has published a number of scientific articles in peer reviewed journals on ACT and is author of a book called Learning Acceptance and Commitment Therapy that will provide part of the materials for this workshop.
