Introducing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Christian Clients: A Faith-Based Workbook
Written by Joshua J. Knabb, a licensed psychologist and Christian counselor, this second edition builds upon the success of the first edition by incorporating updated discussions and over twenty-five new and revised exercises. The workbook serves as both a guide for mental health professionals and a self-help resource for individuals seeking growth and healing.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a powerful therapeutic approach based on mindfulness and acceptance. It focuses on helping individuals develop psychological flexibility and engage in meaningful actions in line with their values, even in the presence of difficult thoughts and emotions. ACT has been widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating a range of psychological issues, from anxiety and depression to addiction and trauma.
What sets Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Christian Clients apart is its integration of Christian principles and teachings. This faith-based workbook explores the overlap between ACT and Christianity, offering biblical examples and equivalent concepts from the writings of contemplative Christians. It provides worksheets and strategies to help clients understand and apply the material in a way that aligns with their Christian faith.
The workbook is divided into chapters devoted to each of the six ACT processes: Acceptance, Cognitive Defusion, Contact with the Present Moment, Self-as-Context, Values, and Committed Action. For each process, Knabb presents biblical examples and contemplative Christian teachings that support and enhance the understanding and application of the ACT principles.
In addition to the theoretical framework and exercises, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Christian Clients also includes several contemplative practices and psychospiritual interventions. These practices and interventions deepen the exploration of the six ACT processes and facilitate personal growth, inner peace, and spiritual development.
