The go-to practical guide for ACT professionals working with clients with acquired brain injuries, and progressive neurological conditions. This book provides tools to help clients live alongside complex emotions associated with navigating social pressures, and emotional impact throughout their lives.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) targets clients' social, emotional, and mental health using its six core principles of Acceptance, Cognitive Defusion, Being Present, the Self as Context, Values, and Committed Action.

This unique guide presents evidence-based ACT techniques, from mindfulness exercises to creating visual prompts and workbooks, to be used by professionals working with clients experiencing acquired brain injury and progressive neurological conditions and the challenges these present to their identity. Guiding professionals looking for ready-to-use resources for their practice and non-specialists working in the field, this book provides a practical focus on adapted exercises specifically for those with neurological conditions.
