Our current podcast features a six-book series called the Becca Epps Series about Bending Your Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors (Shawnee Scientific Press, 2017-2021). The author of the series, Amy R. Murrell, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist. Prior to writing this series, Dr. Murrell had co-authored a research-based self-help book (The Joy of Parenting; New Harbinger, 2009) and approximately 50 empirical or theoretical articles or chapters.
All six of the picture books in the Becca Epps series are based on a cognitive-behavioral model of psychotherapy, called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
