This page will be the parent page for ACBS members to post/attach presentations (e.g., Powerpoint Slides), individual slides or figures, handouts, or related materials. This will also allow the community as a whole to provide feedback on the materials, offer constructive criticism, suggest revisions, and improve our collected effort to effectively educate others about ACT. If you have materials you are willing to put into the "public domain" so others may use them, you can do it here.

The PowerPoint is an abbreviated form of Steve Hayes' presentation on the Hexaflex. The only original material is in the speaker's notes (under the slides and in the attached Word document) and I think the 'Chocolate' slide is original.

Suggestions on adding to the ACT Presentation Materials section:
(a) For the sake of keeping this organized, I would recommend using the option for "add child page" to this main page instead of adding as comment/reply. Child pages are listed in a nice list that is easy to read and access. Comments can get quite chaotic. Also, the "add child page" format allows others to make comments and give feedback that will stick to the appropriate page/presentation instead of getting jumbled to the point where you will not know which comments refer to which postings.
(b) Then, give your new page a short, descriptive title (e.g., "General ACT Talk, Boston 2005").
(c) Write whatever description/comments/requests for feedback that you want directly on the new child page.
(d) You can then either: (i) Provide a link to the location where the presentation/materials are located (on or off site) or (ii) Attach the actual presentation/materials at bottom (if you do this, be sure to mention "materials attached at bottom" as attachments are easy to miss with the format here). Personally, I would encourage folks to do (ii) for ease of downloading.
(e) Another option: Link from here to material in your blog. Even if you opt to leave your posted presentations in your personal blog, perhaps you could add a child page here, inform members you have stuff in your blog, and then link to it by adding the URL to your child page. For example, if Steve wanted to link us to presentations in his blog, he would (a) add a child page, (b) title it "Steve's Presentations," (c) Write: Hey gang, I have some presentations you can use in my blog. You can find them at... on the page, and then (d) provide the link on the next line: "http://www.contextualpsychology.org/en/blog/steven_hayes"
