Practicing

The effectiveness of the therapist and his practice depends, among other factors, his training. Studying and reading the main books of the approach is very important and gives the basis for the therapist to fill his “toolbox”. However, you need to know how to use these tools, and this is only possible when the practice combines with theory. Thinking about this necessity, the core Cefi Contextus has elaborated a course that aims to teach and experience the practice of the main concepts of acceptance and commitment therapy.

There will be 6 meetings that propose to put the contextual behavioral processes of acceptance and change in practice through rolys and exercise in small groups. The student can practice the main concepts of ACT, learning from case formulation, undergoing functional analysis, intervention tools (such as matrix), to the importance of the therapeutic relationship.
