Syracuse, NY - ACT Training with D.J. Moran

The seminar will discuss and demonstrate ACT techniques that may be broadly useful for intervening with multi-problem clients dealing with issues such as anxiety, substance abuse, depression, PTSD and human struggle.  The seminar will provide clinicians with a basic understanding of ACT skills, and with personal experiences that will allow further development of these skills based on their application.

Much of the material covered will be an expansion from ACT in Practice (Bach & Moran, 2008) Objectives
