Description:
In this online course, you’ll gain access to a new, process-based framework designed to help clinicians who have a solid ACT foundation bridge the gap between theory and practice. You’ll watch Dr. Hayes apply this framework in extensive clinical demonstrations, including role plays as well as unscripted conversations with clinicians. You’ll also see his thought process from start to finish as he builds network diagrams, performs functional analysis, makes reads, and plans and implements treatment.
Equipped with this insight, you’ll be able to develop a clear pathway for implementing ACT throughout your therapeutic relationships — and become more effective at cultivating prosperity in the lives of your clients.
