{"product_id":"9781608829828","title":"Cognitive Defusion in Practice: A Clinician's Guide to Assessing, Observing, and Supporting Change in Your Client","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a must-have book for anyone who practices, or is interested in, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost people in the psychological community are familiar with the concept of cognitive defusion. This important practice rests on the premise that many of our thoughts, particularly self-evaluative thoughts \u003ci\u003e(I’m not good enough, There’s something wrong with me,\u003c\/i\u003e etc.), do not capture the full reality of a situation. Defusion techniques are used to undermine the authoritative nature of our thoughts, to expose them as simply words, rather than truths etched in stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use by mental health professionals and graduate students, \u003ci\u003eCognitive Defusion In Practice\u003c\/i\u003e clearly conceptualizes cognitive defusion—an integral aspect of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)—for accessible and practical reference. The book also provides comprehensive descriptions of a great variety of defusion techniques, and illustrates how and when to introduce defusion in therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a comprehensive, definitive, authoritative text on cognitive defusion: what it is, how to use it in session, and why it works. Because cognitive defusion is so effective, a great variety of defusion techniques are used in ACT to help clients gain greater psychological flexibility, but before now, there has not been a definitive resource available that outlines the practice in detail. This book will make a wonderful addition to your professional library, and will greatly enhance your delivery of ACT.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Harbinger Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134211670256,"sku":"9781608829828","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608829828_p0.jpg?v=1763836151","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608829828","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
