Workshop abstract: Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is recognized by the Society of Clinical Psychology (Section III, Division 12 of the American Psychological Association) as having modest empirical support in the treatment of unipolar depression (http://www.psychologicaltreat ments.org/). Research suggests that ACT compares favorably to cognitive therapy in alleviation of depression when delivered in both individual (Zettle & Hayes, 1986) and group formats (Zettle & Rains, 1989), but does so through a mechanism of action that differs from cognitive therapy and which is specific to the model of psychological flexibility/inflexibility upon which ACT is based. Specifically, defusion from negative automatic thoughts that characterize depression has been shown to mediate Robert Zettle completed his predoctoral internship at the Center for Cognitive Therapy in Philadelphia, conducted the first comparative outcome study on what is now known as ACT as a part of his dissertation under the supervision of ACT founder Steven Hayes. Robert Zettle has published both basic and applied research relating to rule governance, experiental avoidance and ACT for depression for more than 20 years. therapeutic improvement in ACT (Zettle, Rains, & Hayes, 2011). The main focus of this two-day workshop will be on how ACT as a transdiagnostic approach can be adapted and extended in working with clients who struggle with depression. Depression from an ACT perspective is seen primarily as a secondary or reactive emotion that results from the ineffective management of existing sorrow and efforts to avoid further sorrow. Within the context of a case conceptualization approach, the workshop will identify multiple-levels of fusion that link sorrow to depression and demonstrate different ways of loosening the overidentification with certain life narratives, reason-giving, and automatic thoughts that contributes to the initiation, maintenance, and exacerbation of depression. With successful defusion and acceptance work, sufficient psychological space is created to then implement behavioral activation strategies in the service of clients moving their lives in a valued direction. Exercises and strategies to assist clients in clarifying and identifying personal values and how they can “carry their sorrow” while in engaging in committed value-directed actions will be discussed, demonstrated, and practiced. There are a number of challenges that tend to arise more often in working with clients who struggle with depression than other presenting problems. These challenges include, but are not necessarily limited to, homework noncompliance, lack of client motivation, and suicidality. ACT finds it useful to view these “challenges” not as obstacles that have to somehow be surmounted before the “real therapy” can begin, but as a rich and integral part of the overall therapeutic enterprise, particularly if those who practice ACT are willing to extend the model and processes upon which it is based to themselves and their own values, emotional reactions, and in-session behaviors in responding to such “challenges.” Toward this end, workshop attendees will be invited to participate in a number of exercises designed to clarify their values as therapists and identify experiential barriers to realizing them in responding to the aforementioned challenges. Because ACT is an experiential approach, it is best learned by doing it rather than merely talking about it. For this reason, those attending the workshop will be presented with both didactic material about using ACT in work with depressed clients as well as numerous opportunities to practice what will be covered through a series of related exercises, demonstrations, and role-plays.
