measuring progress in the patient
I have 1 session left in the ACT program. I would like to chat with anyone, therapist or patient, who has seen a patient go through the program and if there are any measurements, parameters, anything that you can put a finger on or define to talk about progress. I think I feel better is a little abstract. What have other people experienced. I have a clinical psychologist, Ph.D, we have a very good relationship and I think we have done good work. Again, what does that mean? My underlying diagnosis is PTSD, childhood onset. I'm 56. Would love to chat online with anyone with experience with this stuff.
Use of ACT materials from web site
I have a quick question about the ethical use of the forms and instruments published on this web site.
I am writting a self-help book for Christians with the ACT process being a cornerstone of its approach.
It is along the lines of Steven Hayes' "Get out of your mind..." book. As with most self help books it heavily relies on the act of self discovery from the reader. And this requires that the reader participate in some exercises directed toward self discovery.
There are several instruments available on this site that I would like to be able to use in my book. What is the proper protocol for my including them in my book?

Using materials from the site
General information from pages can usually just be used. Specific information such as instruments, excepts from publications, and so on have specific authors associated with them. Usually the person would not post their materials here without being open to their being used (with citation) but it is always a courtesy to ask, in part because sometimes the copyright is not even owned by the author and there may be necessary restrictions. Some things (like the AAQ) specifically state that you can use them, and in that just just do so, citing the original publication.
