    • ACT - la thérapie d'acceptation et d'engagement en pratique

      La thérapie d’acceptation et d’engagement (ACT) vise à aider les patients à retrouver une variété de comportements, en présence de pensées, émotions, souvenirs et perceptions douloureuses. L’ACT est appréciée par les thérapeutes en raison de son adaptabilité aux dif-ἀcultés de chaque patient, tout en proposant des principes d’action efficaces. Les thérapeutes qui pratiquent l’ACT sont davantage en relation avec leurs patients, débarrassés du poids d’un « agenda » rigide à respecter, et sont donc plus efficaces pour les aider à être en harmonie avec eux-mêmes. Dans cet ouvrage, des thérapeutes expérimentés pratiquant l’ACT décrivent leurs séances pas à pas avec les patients, tout en commentant leur démarche. La variété des problématiques présentées illustre autant de façons différentes de parvenir à modifier les processus impliqués dans les troubles psychologiques. Dans une perspective transdiagnostique, l’ouvrage est organisé autour de trois axes thérapeutiques, plutôt que par troubles : - L’Ouverture aux expériences psychologiques en lieu et place d’une lutte contre elles - L’Attention à l’expérience vécue plutôt que des réactions automatisées - L’Engagement dans des actions qui font sens pour soi
