There's a writer named Marth Beck who has written several articles on ACT that are quite clear, personal, and accessible. They would be good handouts to give to clients. If you search on Oprah.com , you can find several articles on ACT. Here's one of them and an excerpt below:

MARTHA BECK'S GUIDE TO AVOIDING AVOIDANCE
The Consequences of Willingness

What happens when we're willing to feel bad is that, sure enough, we often feel bad—but without the stress of futile avoidance. Emotional discomfort, when accepted, rises, crests, and falls in a series of waves. Each wave washes parts of us away and deposits treasures we never imagined. No one would call it easy, but the rhythm of emotional pain that we learn to tolerate is natural, constructive, and expansive. It's different from unwilling suffering the way the sting of disinfectant is different from the sting of decay; the pain leaves you healthier than it found you. 

Randy Burgess has posted an audio recording of the ACT observer exercise on his blog. It is available for anyone to download. I haven't listened to the whole thing, but the audio quality is quite good and so would likely be useful for many people. Thanks Randy.

Here's a cool video on a client being treated for compulsive hoarding using ACT . The therapist in the video is D.J. Moran, a well-known ACT therapist and author of this book. There hasn't been a lot of press for ACT yet, so this is neat. The client does say something that she clearly learned in ACT in the video.

It's great to have depictions of people in treatment that are hopeful and compassionate. Thanks to Fox News Chicago for airing this story.
