Split into three parts the book discusses the history and controversy surrounding the rise of acceptance and commitment strategies in behavior analysis and shows how the processes underlying ACT are linked to foundational behavioral scientific principles as amplified by stimulus equivalence and relational learning principles such as those addressed by relational frame theory. In a careful step-by-step way it describes the best practices for administering the acceptance and commitment procedures at the level of the individual client organizational systems and with families. Attention is also given to the ethical and scope-of-practice considerations for behavior analysts along with recommendations for conducting on-going research on this new frontier for behavior analytic treatment across a myriad of populations and behaviors. Written by leading experts in the field the book argues that practice must proceed from the basic tenants of behavior analysis and that now is the opportune moment to bring ACT methods to behavior analysts to maximize the scope and depth of behavioral treatments for all people. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Behavior Analysts will be an essential read for students of behavior analysis and behavior therapy as well as for individuals on graduate training programs that prepare behavior analysts and professionals that are likely to use ACT in their clinical practice and research. | Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Behavior Analysts A Practice Guide from Theory to Treatment
