Saturday, June 20, 2009 from 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM (PT)
This workshop will present an overview of the six core processes of ACT. Each process will be discussed and illustrated with example interventions that could be adapted for individual or group therapy. The processes will be presented in an order that allows participants to distinguish between them while also getting a sense of how they relate to each other. Attendees will walk away from this workshop with a general understanding of the ACT model and a variety of new methods to incorporate into their practices for helping clients to be more mindful and values-directed.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This workshop is designed for practitioners new to the ACT model and also for
those with some experience with ACT who are trying to assimilate the full model
into their work. No previous experience with ACT is necessary, although some
familiarity will likely be helpful. The workshop will be participatory, in that
it will involve collaborative demonstrations of the treatment, and only mildly
experiential.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this workshop, attendees will be familiar with:
1. the six core processes underlying the ACT model.
2. simple interventions for each of the six processes.
3. a sensible means of organizing the sequence of these interventions.
PROVIDER
Chad Drake, Ph.D., has been an active student and researcher of ACT and Relational Frame Theory for the past 7 years. Much of his clinical experience has involved conducting ACT groups for PTSD, depression, and psychosis, and he is also an active researcher of behavioral measures of ACT processes. He received graduate training at the University of Mississippi under Kelly Wilson, co-author of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: An Experiential Approach to Behavior Change. His internship with Kevin Polk and Jerold Hambright at the VA Medical Center in Togus, Maine, involved development of “Radical ACT”, an elegantly simplified protocol for ACT treatment of veterans with PTSD. Currently he is a psychologist resident with Jason Luoma and Jenna LeJeune at the Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, & Training Center in Portland, Oregon.
