Faith-Based ACT for Christian Clients: An Integrative Treatment Approach

Faith-Based ACT for Christian Clients balances empirical evidence with theology to give clinicians a deep understanding of not just the why but also the how of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Christian clients. Chapters include a detailed exploration of the overlap between ACT and the Christian faith, case studies, and techniques that are explicitly designed to be accessible to non-Christian as well as Christian (including evangelical Christian) counselors and therapists. Chapters present the established research on mindfulness and ACT, including a nuanced, non-dichotomous view of complex issues such as medication, and lay a firm theological foundation through the use of engaging biblical stories and metaphors.
