Workshop with Ruth A. Baer
PhD
Integrating
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive
Therapy in Clinical Work
Ruth Baer is Professor of Psychology and a member and former
Director of the Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology at the
University of Kentucky in Lexington. She conducts research on the
assessment and conceptualisation of mindfulness, mindfulness-based
interventions, mechanisms by which mindfulness training achieves its
beneficial effects, and relationships between mindfulness and other
aspects of psychological functioning.
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is a group
intervention developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn for people suffering from
chronic pain and stress-related conditions. It is based on intensive
training in mindfulness meditation and typically consists of eight
weekly sessions lasting 2.5 hours. MBSR uses a wide range of
mindfulness practices and exercises to teach participants to
cultivate an observant, accepting, and compassionate stance toward
their own internal experiences, including cognitions, emotional
states, bodily sensations, and impulses, even those that are
unpleasant or unwanted. It incorporates in-session mindfulness practices and discussion, homework practice, didactic
presentation and discussion of stress and related topics, and group
support. The research literature shows good support for the efficacy
of MBSR in people with a wide range of problems.

Workshop with John P Forsyth
PhD
Using Exposure-Based Interventions with
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
This 1-day workshop will explore the use of
exposure-based interventions in the context of Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy. The main focus will be on anxiety and fear,
but additional attention will be devoted to other sources of
pain (eg guilt, anger). The workshop will cover traditional
cognitive-behavioural (CBT) approaches using both interoceptive
and exteroceptive exposure strategies, and then show how they
are applied within ACT.

Workshop with John P Forsyth
PhD
Principles of Acceptance and Commitment
Therapy: Overview and Applications in Clinical Practice
3 Workshops - All Held In Melbourne
ACT is a newer third-generation evidence-based
behavior therapy that balances mindfulness and acceptance
processes with commitment and behavior change processes to (a)
undermine unhelpful thought and emotional regulation, while (b)
promoting greater experiential and psychological flexibility in
the service of valued ends. In short, ACT teaches clients how to
be with their hurts and do what works – to live well, richly and
meaningfully, without first having to defeat sources of
emotional and psychological pain.
Workshop 1: An Introduction to Acceptance &
Commitment Therapy in Clinical Practice
Workshop 2: Using ACT in the Treatment of
