Kirk D. Strosahl, PhD, is cofounder of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a cognitive behavioral approach that has gained widespread adoption in the mental health and substance abuse communities. Strosahl works as a practicing psychologist at Central Washington Family Medicine, a community health center providing health care to medically underserved patients. He also teaches family medicine physicians in how to use the principles of mindfulness and acceptance in general practice. Strosahl lives in Zillah, WA.
 
Patricia J. Robinson, PhD, is director of training and program evaluation at Mountainview Consulting Group, Inc., a firm that assists health care systems with integrating behavioral health services into primary care settings. She is author of Real Behavior Change in Primary Care, and coauthor of The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Depression. After exploring primary care psychology as a researcher, she devoted her attention to dissemination in rural America, urban public health departments, and military medical treatment facilities. Robinson lives in Portland, OR.
"Strosahl (The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Depression) and Robinson (Real Behavior Change in Primary Care) base this self-help guide on the proposal that seemingly insignificant, everyday stressors, rather than life-changing events, pose the greatest danger to the average person’s mental and physical health. Accordingly, the authors emphasize the importance of developing healthy coping mechanisms, advising the reader on how to evaluate one’s current state of mind. One of their mottos is 'practice makes permanent,' and to that end, they present a number of exercises with the promise that, practiced over time, these will teach the brain how to handle stress by getting into a less emotional, more cerebral state, where one can process different courses of action—what they call the 'quiet mind.' Perhaps not for the well-versed self-help reader, this book can be overly obvious and protracted, particularly when describing the step-by-step process of developing mindfulness. That said, the background information on neuroscience and how stress affects the brain will be of interest, and concern, for anyone who feels worn down by the day-to-day."
