Hello I am a sociologist who is interested in RFT (and behavioral principles in general) and its relevance for developing social interventions. I am just...
Eric just sent me the attached data on ACBS membership. We are averaging around 90 new members a month. We are at 370 this morning. As he notes on this graphic...
