| Abstract: How do we train therapists effectively in ACT? There is little research on the efficacy or effectiveness of procedures used to train therapists in general, so the literature gives little guidance. Are there differences in training new therapists as compared to experienced therapists new only to ACT? What are the problems in building a new supervision tradition? These questions and more will be addressed by a panel composed of individuals with a range of experience, including two experts, a new supervisor, and a trainee. |
