Self-as-Context in Therapy: Help Your Clients Build a Flexible Self with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Self-as-context is a central theoretical component of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Beate Ebert has produced a brilliant text that brings psychology, metaphysics, and spirituality into your clinical practice. This book will make you a better clinician, and might also help you understand yourself. I highly recommend it.
Of all the concepts in ACT, self-as-context is perhaps the most difficult to grasp. Beate Ebert has succeeded in writing a text that both explores this process theoretically and gives practical direction on how to use it in psychotherapy. Well done!
When learning ACT, almost all practitioners struggle to understand the concept of self-as-context—and even more so, to apply it in useful therapeutic interventions. The good news is, in this well-written textbook, Beate Ebert takes you step by step through both the theory and clinical application of self-as-context, and the myriad ways you can use it to help both yourself and your clients live richer, fuller lives. I believe this to be the clearest and most practical text ever written on the topic of self-as-context. Highly recommended for all ACT practitioners of all levels—beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
