An essential guide for mental health professionals that will revolutionize the way you deliver evidence-based care--now fully revised and updated with the latest research.

As a mental health professional, you know it's a real challenge to help clients develop the psychological skills they need to live a vital life. This is especially true when you are working with time constraints or in settings where contacts with the client will be brief.

This fully revised and updated edition of Brief Interventions for Radical Change is a powerful resource for any clinician working with clients who are struggling with mental health, substance abuse, or life-adjustment issues. If you are searching for a more focused therapeutic approach that requires fewer follow-up visits with clients, or if you are simply looking for a way to make the most of each session, this is your guide.

In this book, you'll find a ready-to-use collection of brief assessment and case-formulation tools, as well as brief intervention strategies based on focused acceptance and commitment therapy (FACT). This second edition also introduces six new FACT "pillars of psychological flexibility," the CARE framework for structuring sessions, and a competency self-assessment tool for ongoing skill development. It also integrates more than a decade of new research, including studies linking FACT to improved outcomes and reduced suicide rates.

This comprehensive guide includes:

  • A practical approach to understanding how clients get stuck
  • Focusing questions to help clients redefine their problem
  • Tools to increase motivation for change
  • Methods for rapidly constructing effective treatment plans
  • Interventions for promoting acceptance, present-moment awareness, and contact with personal values

With clear, session-by-session guidance, Brief Interventions for Radical Behavior Change, Second Edition will help you deliver effective, compassionate care, whether in outpatient mental health facilities, schools, hospitals, or primary care clinics.

This second edition includes substantial updates throughout, as well as a bigger trim size that includes worksheets and handouts.
