Guiding Clients Towards Change: Committed Action in ACT


Listen Later

In this episode of "Among Therapists: Practical Tips," we explore the critical phase of setting targets for committed action in psychological treatment. Committed actions, tied to individual values, are pivotal for client progress. Dr. Batten emphasizes the importance of letting clients choose their committed actions to enhance follow-through. Measurable and specific commitments aligned with SMART goals are essential. Context, function, and history significantly influence understanding client progress. Reflecting on diverse scenarios, we understand how commitments interact with individual contexts. Remember, in setting targets for committed action, prioritize client-driven, values-aligned goals for effective therapeutic outcomes. Faculty: Sonja V. Batten, Ph.D. Host: Jessica Díaz, M.D. Script Editor: Anderson García, Ph.D.
