Webcast
4 CE Credits OVERVIEW
Introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is organized by Vermont Psychological Association (VPA).
Description:
This course will introduce the theory and practice of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as its goals and techniques. This course is intended as an introduction to ACT that may help therapists decide whether or not to pursue further training and experiences.
Learning Objectives:
Objective 1
Describe the theoretical framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), including the fundamentals of Relational Frame Theory.
Objective 2
Explain to a patient how ACT differs from theoretical orientations like CBT, DBT, or psychodynamic orientations, including the focus that ACT places on acceptance and not symptom reduction.
Objective 3
Describe to a colleague or patient the role of values in ACT, and be able to guide a patient through an appropriate values exploration exercise.
Objective 4
Explain to a patient or colleague the role of exposure in ACT treatment, and how the goals of that exposure only partially overlaps with exposure’s use in other theoretical domains.
Objective 5
Discuss, in a thoughtful manner, the participant’s own experience with some of the processes and exercises associated with ACT, and explain the value of ‘doing ACT’ to ourselves.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
