Why are we doing this?

• Context– Karlein and Peter started learning ACT in 2004,

almost no Dutch-language material at that time– 2005 books on ACT for Chronic Pain (JoAnne Dahl

and Lance McCracken); 2006 Ando Rokx translated the 1999 book

– 2005-2007 courses/workshops and practicing• Aims/purpose/goals

– How to implement ACT in rehabilitation teams?– Let’s develop a course…

• Value-driven– In service of our patients and coworkers and

ourselves…
