Thinkmindfully.com
This is an outstanding descriptive and interactive site to learn about mindfulness as we apply it in ACT.  Debra Kissen has done a great job with it.  Her graphic representation of the leaves on a stream exercise is fantastic.


The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris
This is a self-help book that I and many of my clients have read and benefitted from.  The link is to Dr. Harris' website.  There is a lot of good information on his site explaining ACT.  The book can be purchased at most bookstores and also at Amazon.com.  If you read the book, you may also want to download the worksheets from the site to go along with the chapters and exercises in the book.


ACT with Love by Russ Harris
Russ Harris has also written a good book on using ACT in relationships.  It also comes with worksheets downloadable on this website.  You can read the first chapter of the book there too.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (article by Steve Hayes, Psychotherapy Networker, 2007
This is the first article I read about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  ACT is the model of therapy that I use most often in my practice.  This article does a good job explaining what that is.  







Virginia Satir's Communication Stances
This is the handout I use often for marriage or couples counseling.  Many of my clients have found this concept to be very helpful in discovering how their individual defenses can cause relationship problems and what they can do to become more congruent (same on the inside as the out) and thus, improve the relationship.  (.pdf file)
