Values in Therapy is a powerful and practical guide for any therapist-chock-full of insight and tools to conceptualize, integrate, and effectively apply values work in-session.

With an emphasis on cultivating meaning and vitality in client lives, the values component of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is what draws many clinicians to the treatment model. Yet, until now, there have been no practical guides available on values-based practice written from an ACT perspective. And while values work may appear deceptively simple, it's often difficult to effectively carry out in practice. That's where this comprehensive guide comes in.

Values in Therapy emphasizes the facilitation of specific qualities inherent in effective values conversations, such as vitality, choice, present-focused awareness, and willing vulnerability. This book will help you move away from basic techniques and exercises and toward the nuance and skills you need to do effective values work. You'll also learn how to use these tools, with detailed scripts for in-session exercises, handouts for clients, homework ideas, assessment and tracking tools, case examples, practical vignettes, and more.

Whether you're an ACT clinician, or simply looking to incorporate values-based work into your treatment, this essential guide provides everything you need to help clients connect with what really matters to them, so they can live full and meaningful lives.

Industry Reviews

“This is a wonderfully important book which reminds us that the goal of therapy and living well is not simply to eradicate pain, discomfort, or suffering, but to discover what we truly value; a task that requires us to be open to these important life experiences. A real breath of fresh air at a time when our definitions of happiness and many popular treatments for mental illness have been overly influenced by the feel-good movement.”
—Brock Bastian, PhD, professor in the department of psychology at the University of Melbourne, and author of The Other Side of Happiness
