La référence incontournable pour devenir un expert de l'ACT.
La thérapie d'acceptation et d'engagement fait aujourd'hui partie des grands classiques. Son efficacité est reconnue dans le traitement de nombreux troubles psychologiques. En mettant l'accent sur les valeurs du patient et son engagement à changer, l'ACT s'avère efficace dans le traitement de la dépression, de l'anxiété, du stress, des dépendances, du trouble de la personnalité borderline, et de bien d'autres encore.
Cette nouvelle édition, entièrement remaniée, présente tous les concepts de l'ACT ainsi que de très nombreux nouveaux outils, métaphores, exercices, qui faciliteront encore la pratique. Russ Harris y dévoile notamment un outil de conceptualisation novateur, la Question du Choix, qui guidera le professionnel dans sa pratique.
Dr Russ Harris is a medically-qualified doctor, stress consultant, executive coach, trainer, author, and a leading authority in the powerful new paradigm of Psychological Flexibility. (This is a revolutionary new development in human psychology that enhances performance, reduces stress, and improves health and wellbeing.) Dr Russ regularly presents workshops on Psychological Flexibility at both national and international psychology conferences, and has a thriving business traveling around Australia running training seminars for psychologists, coaches and a variety of health professionals.
Dr Russ's first book, 'The Happiness Trap', was published in Australia in March 2007, and is already well on the way to becoming a bestseller. (The title reflects a key theme in the book - that popular ideas about happiness are misleading, inaccurate, and actually make us miserable in the long term.) He is currently completing his second book 'From Fear To Fulfilment' - which is also the title of his most popular talk.
Back in the early nineties, when Russ was a GP in Melbourne, he moonlighted as a stand-up comedian, and as well as appearing regularly on the Melbourne comedy circuit, he featured on TV shows such as Tonight Live with Steve Vizard, and The Mid-Day Show with Ray Martin. As a result of this experience, his talks are fast-paced, engaging and humorous - as well as being action-packed with information, tools, and techniques for reducing stress, enhancing performance, and increasing vitality.
