Innovations in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Acquired Brain Injury

'Fresh, innovative and needed, this book brings you some of the best and most cutting-edge work on the application of the Psychological Flexibility Model and ACT to the problems of those with Acquired Brain Injury and related conditions. It’s not a cookbook – but more of an inspirational guide that asks you the clinician to explore, evolve and innovate by targeting evidence-based processes as way of rising to the unique challenges faced by ABI patients. These problems are hardly uncommon – it’s time to put clinical creativity into action in the field of neurorehabilitation. This book will help you do so. Highly recommended.'

Steven C. Hayes, Foundation Professor of Psychology Emeritus, University of Nevada, Reno, Originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

'There are few life events more traumatic than a brain injury. For both client and therapist, the challenges are huge: stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, threat to one’s identity, interpersonal issues ... and the list goes on. And it is no exaggeration to say that this book heralds a genuine revolution in the psychological treatment of brain injury. Within these pages you’ll find a wealth of innovative and practical tools, techniques and strategies to help brain-injured clients adapt to their challenges, handle their difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively, develop self-acceptance and self-compassion and build a meaningful life in the face of their loss.'
