ACT Trainers
May 2, 2005 - 3:35pm — Steven Hayes
The trainers listed below have been invited by a committee of developers of ACT and RFT (right now that Committee is Steve Hayes, Kelly Wilson, Kirk Strosahl, and Dermot Barnes-Holmes) to be listed on the basis of their background. You can get a sense of how we hope this list will function by reading the actual invitation trainers are sent when we ask them to post their materials on the site.
Trainers pay no fees to anyone to be listed. This list is not meant to be de facto certification: there are other trainers equally qualified who simply choose not to be on such a list (because, for example, they would rarely be available; they are primarily researchers or academics; they are still students; etc.). If others in your area are apparently available to train in ACT they may be equally qualified: if you want input on that issue you can contact local ACT therapists or researchers (see lists elsewhere on the website), one of the trainers below, or members of the committee for advice.
A very important part of being listed is that trainers have agreed to a set of shared values and principles. All of the trainers listed here have actually signed their name to these values.
To be listed as an ACT trainer you must be an experienced ACT therapist, a trainer of known skill (typically new trainers will have shown this by conducting ACT training side by side with existing ACT trainers), knowledgeable in ACT and the science underlying it including behavioral principles and RFT, and you must agree to these shared values and principles. The application to be a listed as a Recognized ACT Trainer is under revision and will be available in early April 2008.
