Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers an empirically supported approach to treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related trauma issues. This volume provides both theoretical and practical guidance for clinicians. It begins by exploring experiential avoidance and the verbal nature of PTSD, emphasising mindfulness, acceptance, and the challenges of control. The concept of creative hopelessness is introduced as a foundation for building a new life after trauma. The second section delivers a detailed clinical manual on the six core ACT components—creative hopelessness, control, willingness and defusion, self-as-context, valued living, and committed action—with case examples and homework to support clients through recovery.
