Hayes (psychology, U. of Nevada) and Lillis (psychiatry and human behavior, Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown U.) have structured this book as a conversation with the reader about acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) beginning with an introduction, and then an overview of the history, theory, therapy process, evaluation, and future developments of ACT. As all books in the series, this book is specifically paired with a DVD, which demonstrates the theory applied in actual therapy with a real client.
