ACT in Perspective - A prosocial podcast using behavioral science to address human suffering
#2 :Season 1, Ep 2 - ACT and Compassion-Focused Therapy: An integrative approach to treat complex issues children and adolescents face
10 Jan 2021
Dr. Eli Cwinn is a clinical psychologist who works out of Toronto, Canada who has been using Compassion-Focused Therapy, or CFT, with kids, teens and caregivers for the past 6 years. He started by using CFT with teens in a secure detention facility with great effect and has also used CFT with teens with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Learning Disabilities, ADHD and high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder. Eli is also the co-chair of the Ontario Chapter of the Association of Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS) where he is a board members of a special interest group (SIG) called Applying ACT for Addictions. Eli and I had a very interesting and helpful discussion about what CFT is and how it is integrated with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, to provide a more technically eclectic, yet theoretically consistent process-based approach to treat complex psychological issues for children and adolescents. This is a particularly relevant and helpful episode for parents, caregivers, teachers and other practitioners who are looking to gain better insight.
