Each member of the group will video-tape him/herself doing role-play and send the video to the teacher. During some of the lectures, we will watch parts of those role-play videos.
Learning log. Towards the end of each lecture you will write a learning log that will be an abstract of what you have learned during each lecture. There will be a total of 4 learning logs that you will give to the teacher at the end of the lecture.

During this course, students will be introduced to the theory of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and its practical application.
ACT is part of a larger movement in the behavioral and cognitive realm, which includes the mindfulness approaches (Hayes, 2005).
The psychological flexibility model underlying ACT is a transdiagnostic, rather than symptomatological, model for behavior change and personal development.

In this course, students will be familiarized with the basic principles of ACT and method, by incorporating, amongst others, the use of related literature,
video-lectures, podcasts, videotaped interviews from well-known researchers and practitioners in the field.
In addition, the course will include a selection of exercises and metaphors related to the model which students can practice independently and in group.
