For the past 35 years, Steven C. Hayes and his colleagues have developed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with hundreds of studies supporting the effectiveness of their approach on issues such as chronic pain, weight loss, prejudice, and spite. A Liberated Mind is a culmination of Steven's life's work, which will teach readers how to live better, happier, and more fulfilling lives by applying the six core processes of ACT. These processes teach us to "detach" from our thoughts and see them from a new perspective, discovering our chosen values that define the meaning of life. Steve shares fascinating research findings, such as how ACT techniques reduced typing errors in a secretarial test while demonstrating that positive affirmations can actually increase negative emotions. He combines this information with stories of clients and colleagues, as well as his own compelling story of recovery from a severe anxiety disorder, which gave birth to the idea of psychological flexibility. A Liberated Mind is a powerful and important book on a new form of psychology, poised to become a modern classic of narrative psychology.
