Getting Behavioral about ACT: An Online Crash-Course in Contemporary Behavior Analysis

Oct 6 2008 - 9:00am
Oct 6 2008 - 10:30am

I am offering a four-part series of online classes designed for clinicians who are interested in learning about the philosophical and theoretical basis of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Part history lesson, part developmental psychology, and entirely behavior-analytic, these classes will provide a broad and comprehensive overview of the assumptions, principles, and concepts that found ACT, from functional contextualism to rule-governance. The material will be presented step-by-step, concept-by-concept, and organized into a simplified framework accessible to those who are unfamiliar with behavioral principles and terminology.

This workshop is designed for beginners, intermediates, and the curious. It may be especially suitable for clinicians and students who are “converting” to ACT and lack formal training in behavior analysis.

These classes will involve an online PowerPoint presentation delivered through http://www.wiziq.com/. This is a simple and free to use website specifically designed for online teaching. Audio will be handled via a telephone conference call. Attendees will need a telephone with long distance service and a computer with access to the internet. A packet of information regarding these technologies will be provided after registration. Check out my website for more information.
