What is this website about?

With the advent of the new site we are making several changes in the society itself. Memberships are now rolling, meaning that whenever you join, your membership is good for 12 months from that date.

  • Association Membership provides privileged access to the site. Members are able to download files, view videos, submit new content, create pages, comment on and rate existing content, upload files to share with others, maintain personal blogs, submit events to the site calendar, list themselves as ACT therapists (Professional Members only), list themselves in the membership directory, vote in ACBS elections, and much more.

    With the advent of values-based dues there really is little reason not to join ACBS and pay what you honestly think membership is worth.

We are also trying to put the ACT model more into the running of the society itself: We are the only large society we know of with values-based dues, in which members pay whatever they think fits the value of this work to them given their situation. Perhaps as a result, there are nearly 2,400 ACBS members (see our membership directory), from 44 different countries.

Over half our members are from outside of the United States. In addition, we are proud to say that dues received per member is up since values-based dues were instituted, because while some pay only one dollar others are moved to pay much more. Another reflection of the values of the community: this site has many wiki features: members can add content in most areas.
