ACT Training
A note on training in ACT for potential students in clinical psychology at UNR.
Some students come to the clinical program (whether they end up in my lab or not) wanting training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am usually happy to provide it but students need to know that ACT is based on the view that most psychological suffering is caused by experiential avoidance and cognitive fusion and that working effectively on these issues with clients requires that you yourself face your own difficult thoughts and feelings. In part for that reason, I believe that you cannot responsibly learn ACT as a mere technology to apply to others. Thus, students learning ACT from me are asked to do intensive, experiential workshops as part of their training. Typically, I ask students to do that before taking on any ACT clients. All ACT trainers work hard to protect privacy, but the work can be emotional and initially painful: you need to decide if you are ready for that kind of training. As a matter of informed consent, you should not come to UNR expecting to learn ACT from me without the decision to be willing to explore difficult personal territory as part of that training. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or need further clarification.
