ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a relatively recent model of psychological and psychotherapeutic intervention.<\/p>\n
Theorised by Hayes (2004, 2005), it originates within cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy and is part of the so-called \u201cthird wave.\u201d It is based on an integration of Mindfulness, Compassion and Acceptance, together with active commitment to behavioural change guided by personal values.<\/p>\n
Its theoretical framework is grounded in scientific evidence and in the philosophical framework of Relational Frame Theory, which emphasises the ability to relate events. Within ACT, this is developed through the possibility of relating cognitive aspects, emotional aspects, context and the values considered most meaningful.<\/p>\n
This approach is currently experiencing significant growth in Italy as well, as it promotes an attitude of observation, acceptance and awareness towards psychological suffering. During this Masterclass, participants will not only be guided through the theoretical foundations of ACT, but will above all have the opportunity to experience first-hand some practical tools that can be applied in therapeutic work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
