Dancing around the hexaflex: Using ACT in practice 3
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can be slippery to describe. It’s an approach that doesn’t aim to change thought content, but instead to help us shift the way we relate to what our mind tells us. It’s also an approach focused on workability: pragmatic and context-specific analysis of how well a strategy is working to achieve being able to do what matters. Over the next few posts I want to give some examples of how non-psychologists can use ACT in session (remember ACT is open for anyone to use it!).

When death comes to your job: Grieving what was and moving on
It has been only two weeks since I realized the job I had was gone. As physicians, I think we have this idea of what our work will look like into the future. It is enshrined in pomp and circumstance from the start as we take an oath to “do no harm,” it’s encrusted with

For orthopedic surgeons, an all-of-the-above approach lowers liability risks
During a total hip replacement, a patient experienced a brisk bleed and a drop in blood pressure that required intervention from the anesthesiologist. There was a discrepancy in the documented estimated blood loss, with the surgeon noting 30 0cc while the anesthesiologist recorded 1100 cc. The patient was hypotensive in the PACU and had a

The high “ cost ” of waste in U.S. health care, and what we can do about it
A guest column by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, exclusive to KevinMD.com. The U.S. spends the largest amount of money on health care in the world – around $4.3 trillion annually. However, an estimated 20% to 30% of this is wasted, with no benefit reaching the populace. Culprits contributing to this waste include administrative and duplicative

Cool Demos of Healthcare VR Applications with HTC VIVE
We’ve all heard about the progress VR is making in healthcare, but that was never more clear than when we stopped by the HTC VIVE booth at the HIMSS annual conference this year. While there we had a chance to talk with Dan O’Brien, GM Americas at HTC VIVE, and he introduced us to some of the healthcare partners that were developing healthcare applications for their VR and AR devices. These applications included: VR surgical models, helping the aging process, VR Therapy, a radiology reading room in VR, and immersive VR to replace anesthesia.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: It ’ s not about giving up
Last week someone asked how I can reconcile using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside hypnosis, because ACT is all about giving up on pain reduction. This belief is common I suppose because ‘acceptance’ is in the name, and acceptance means ‘giving up’ (Biguet et al., 2015). It might also come about because ACT is so often helpful for people with chronic or persistent pain, though I’ve heard some commentators argue that ACT is unhelpfully used with people who may still have pain resolution or reduction available to them.
I can’t comment on when or how ACT is used, but I c...
