Finally, Chapter 6 highlights the importance of on-going supervision and using ratings to ensure adherence to the model. Chapter 5 provides skills and tips for running successful workshops. This chapter also recounts the perspectives of peer-supporters who have been involved. Chapter 4 discusses our experiences of supervising and training peer-supporters to co-facilitating the groups. Chapters 2 and 3 describe adaptations for facilitating ACT groups in different settings, including groups for caregivers of people with psychosis and clients in inpatient settings. Chapter 1 also describes the development of the group interventions that have been conducted our research team. The introduction and Chapter 1 provide an overview and theory behind ACT interventions for people experiencing psychosis. Part one incorporates six chapters that set the scene for facilitating ACT for psychosis recovery groups. You’ll also find tried and tested techniques for engaging people in groups, particularly those traditionally seen as “hard to reach”-people who may be wary of mental health services or experience paranoia. You will find tips and strategies to help clients identify valued directions, teach clients how to respond flexibly to psychotic symptoms, thoughts, and emotions that have been barriers to living a valued life, and lead workshops that promote compassion and connection among participants. The groups focus on a central metaphor (Passengers on the Bus), so that mindfulness and values-based action are introduced in a way that is engaging and memorable. This book will not only teach the reader how to facilitate ACT groups, you will also learn how a client’s recovery can be both supported and sustained by promoting acceptance, mindfulness, and values-driven action. We hope that readers will gain an understanding of the basic theory behind using an ACT approach for psychosis and be able to incorporate the groups in their settings. We have written the book to make it accessible to therapists, carers and peer supporters who would like to facilitate groups in psychosis settings. ACT for Psychosis Recovery Book DescriptionĪCT for Psychosis Recovery is a comprehensive and unique workbook designed to provide an evidence-based, step-by-step approach to facilitating group work with clients suffering from psychosis.
