Whether you're stuck in traffic, hauling your kids out the front door in the morning, dealing with a demanding boss, or worrying about money, it's easy to become overwhelmed.

So how can you move past the little hassles that get in the way of fully enjoying life? In This Moment will show you how to find a sense of calm and serenity using a breakthrough, evidence-based program grounded in mindfulness and neuroscience. Imagine feeling stressed, and being able to work through it by paying attention to your thoughts and feelings, moment by moment, no matter where you are or what you're doing. It's not as difficult as it sounds! Written by cofounder of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) Kirk Strosahl and pioneering behavioral health researcher Patricia Robinson, the mindfulness exercises in this book will help you strengthen the parts of your brain that support vitality and a sense of being fully present in the here and now. And with a little practice, you will learn to combat stress in healthy ways, stay balanced, and live a happier life, no matter what challenges arise"--

När behandlare och klient möts är tiden ofta begränsad. Ändå är varaktig och meningsfull beteendeförändring möjlig att åstadkomma. Fokuserad ACT beskriver en fokuserad behandlingsinsats på upp till fem samtal utifrån kärnkomponenterna i acceptance and commitment therapy, ACT. Syftet är att bidra till den förändring som klienten är beredd att göra – och som allra mest höjer personens livskvalitet och funktionsnivå. Med ett strukturerat och pedagogiskt upplägg, och ett lättförståeligt språkbruk, går författarna igenom olika interventioner med hjälp av illustrerande fallexempel. Denna utgåva har ett extra kapitel om hur man implementerar metoden i befintliga verksamheter i Sverige. Fokuserad ACT ger en bra introduktion till ACT-modellens centrala processer och utgör också en värdefull kunskapskälla för mer erfarna behandlare som vill vidareutveckla sina praktiska färdigheter i ACT. Boken passar således både studerande och yrkesverksamma kliniker. De tre författarna har utvecklat behandlingsmodellen Fokuserad ACT. Kirk Strosahl och Patricia Robinson är fil.dr och psykologer verksamma i USA, samt världsledande inom ACT. Thomas Gustavsson är leg. psykolog och verksam vid Segesholms behandlingshem och Human ACT i Skåne. Han har arbetat med ACT sedan slutet av 1990-talet.
