Sabbath, thanks a million for recommending this book last month!
I am about a quarter of the way through and I think that it really is the cutting edge of behavioral therapy. The book is filled with the jargon of relational frame theory, and I'd be totally lost without first having done the lengthy tutorial at relationalframetheory.com. Although difficult, I have found both the tutorial and the book fascinating and worthwhile, but I'm thinking that most members on this board might rather wait for Dr. Hayes' first self-help book on the subject--to be released in October:
Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life: The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
by Steven Hayes
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... 1572244259
Another book that sounds promising based on its description, although designed for therapists and more expensive, is:
Acceptance And Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: A Practitioner's Treatment Guide to Using Mindfulness, Acceptance, And Values-based Behavior Change Strategies
by Georg H. Eifert, John P. Forsyth
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... 1572244275
The description says it will include a CD-ROM with PowerPoints, audio, and even electronic copies of all the worksheets. How's that for convenient!
