Hi List,

 Below is a link to an essay on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy that folks might find to be of value:

  ACT (said as the word) is one of the major “third wave” forms of cognitive and behavior therapies. It emphasizes mindful awareness of one’s emotions and how to remain committed toward one’s goals and valued states of being. CALM MO, the integrated approach to psychological mindfulness that is the 8^th branch of the UTUA framework overlaps significantly with the basic ACT principles.

 

On another note, the TOK miniconference was a success and many interesting ideas were exchanged. I will be sharing some updates soon.

Best,
Gregg
