“Trauma-Focused ACT is going to go down as one of the great contributions to the field of trauma-informed care. Written in a highly accessible, practical style, Harris provides the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) therapist with a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to working with traumatized clients. The book is chock-full of tidbits of clinical advice that could only come from a highly skilled therapist with loads of experience working with trauma. If you read this book from cover to cover (and maybe read it again), you will have a complete sense of how to roll out, manage, and complete a high-potency treatment with a traumatized client. There aren’t many books out there that achieve this high ground, and this is one of them! Highly recommended.”—Kirk Strosahl, PhD, cofounder of ACT, and coauthor of Brief Interventions for Radical Change

“This beautifully written and intensely practical book offers a rich array of clinical insights and strategies covering the many nuances and concerns that show up when working with various forms of trauma from an ACT point of view. I consider it the ACT book for trauma, and a must-read for mental health practitioners who are looking for a compassionate and transformative approach to helping their clients heal old wounds and engage their lives now in ways that matter to them.”—John P. Forsyth, PhD, coauthor of The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders

“Nobody writes with greater clarity and offers more concrete, useful, and innovative suggestions and strategies than Russ Harris. This is the definitive book for treating trauma-related difficulties with compassion, courage, and cutting-edge scientific tools.”—Todd B. Kashdan, PhD, professor of psychology, and author of Curious? and The Upside of Your Dark Side
