Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- ACT Background and Training
Co-developer of The Matrix (a simplified, easy to learn version of ACT).
Co-developed the week-long, ACT-based Intensive Outpatient PTSD Program at the Togus VA. It's a 12-session protocol based on The Matrix.
Currently developing an ACT-based "Mental Health College" within the Togus Mental Health Service.
All told I have spent well over 10,000 hours learning and doing ACT in groups and individual. I have helped design Matrix-based programs for schools, prisons and mental health agencies around the world (via the Internet).
My colleagues and I train pre-doctoral interns and post-doctoral residents. 54 clinical visitors (and counting) from around the world have visited Togus, Maine and observed the week-long program.
Through my private practice I do presentations (ACT trainings) to fellow professionals and community groups.
I consult/supervise people around the world using ACT. Email: kevin@drkevinpolk.com
