商品描述

This textbook provides a detail guide to the use of Attachment Centred-Therapy (ACT), a model designed over the course of three decades which enables future and present therapists to co-construct a more coherent narrative of a person's life, an essential indicator of one's emotional and mental health. This book provides students and practitioners undergoing professional development with a detailed and applicable guide to using the model, written by the man who designed and developed the therapy. As such, this book is based on real world experience of the implementation of therapy, considering theory and research, and demonstrates how ACT can be used in applications across a wide range of clinical contexts.

The purpose of ACT is to help those undergoing therapy equip themselves with new resources which can assist in dealing with their predominate issues by changing how they process information about the past in the present, to achieve a better outcome in the future. ACT is a growth-oriented psychotherapy, designed using Maslow's Modified Hierarchy of Needs as a guide, and is distinctive because it utilizes the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) as both an assessment instrument and as a vehicle for therapeutic intervention. Another of its benefits is that it's a collaborative treatment, with the therapist forming a team with the therapy's recipient, and then engaging together in a joint effort to create a more coherent narrative of the past, and to correct errors in information processing.

This textbook is made up of practical guidance on the application of ACT, with each concept brought to life with case-study examples, complete with sections of dialogue from sessions annotated to illustrate the methods. It will provide a valuable new teaching tool for teachers and students of systemic practice, family therapy, clinical psychology, counselling, and psychotherapy, alongside qualified practitioners, and practitioners in training.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書提供了關於依附中心治療(Attachment Centred-Therapy, ACT)使用的詳細指南。該模型經過三十年的發展,旨在幫助未來和現任的治療師共同構建一個更具連貫性的個人生活敘事,這是情感和心理健康的重要指標。本書為正在進行專業發展的學生和從業者提供了一個詳細且可應用的模型使用指南,作者是設計和開發這種治療方法的人。因此,本書基於實際的治療實施經驗,考慮了理論和研究,並展示了ACT如何在各種臨床情境中應用。

ACT的目的是幫助接受治療的人們獲得新的資源,以便通過改變他們在當下處理過去信息的方式來應對主要問題,從而在未來獲得更好的結果。ACT是一種以成長為導向的心理治療,設計時以馬斯洛的修訂需求層次理論為指導,其特點在於使用成人依附訪談(Adult Attachment Interview, AAI)作為評估工具和治療介入的手段。其另一個優點是這是一種協作治療,治療師與接受治療者組成團隊,共同努力創建一個更具連貫性的過去敘事,並糾正信息處理中的錯誤。

這本教科書包含了ACT應用的實用指導,每個概念都通過案例研究示例生動呈現,並附有會談中的對話片段註解以說明方法。它將為系統實踐、家庭治療、臨床心理學、諮詢和心理治療的教師和學生,以及合格的從業者和正在培訓的從業者提供一個有價值的新教學工具。
