Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • ACT Background and Training

I began my ACT/RFT training with Kelly Wilson at the University of Mississippi in 2000. My dissertation, published in the Behavior Analyst Today, was a stimulus equivalence project related to parenting, and my students and I have continued RFT and ACT work with parents. I have published several articles and chapters related to the use of ACT with children as well. I have attended and presented at a number of didactic and experiential presentations on ACT and RFT at AABT/ABCT and ABA as well as other settings. Aside from the previously listed workshops and presentations, I have provided consultation and given about 20 ACT workshops. These workshops have ranged from 2 hours to 2 days in length; some were mostly didactic, while others were experiential in nature. I have recently started an ACT-consistent supervision group and a research lab devoted to ACT and RFT work.
