Hello all! Any info about the new book. My netbookstore removed my order for the book which should have been released now and they don't list the title ...
DK The book is out ... I have copies. It is on Amazon US, both paper and hardback - S Steven C. Hayes Foundation Professor Department of Psychology /298 ...
Like all approaches to theory that value science and are responsive to the ongoing flow of empirical data, ACT is a 'work in progress' when it comes to pinning...
¡Aleluya hermanos! Ha salido la actualización 2007 de nuestra página web http://www.conductitlan.net (es la neta). Estas invitado para surfear en ella. ...
Well, as has been said, this is in play and that is good. For now, what do I mean by fusion/defusion? Well, I think that *fusion is the dominance of particular...

I will respond in bits and pieces because I just can't swallow this thread all at once. Joseph C. said: Yet.....to echo J.t.'s arguments... If fusion and...

These seem right on Here is my problem with fusion. If fusion is JUST transformation of stimulus functions then there is almost always "fusion" I think of...
Hi Kel- ... I think it's important to start with identifying some apparent inconsistencies with how defusion/fusion has been discussed in ACT publications, and...
Hi Steve- I think the reply I just now posted to Kelly's email speaks to much of what you say here (i.e., you might want to read that post first before reading...
Just on this point: So, on the one hand, I have the thought that "I am a piece of crap" and it is TRUE, nothing else exists but that, and that TRUTH organizes...

Hi Kelly-- I'm not sure how this example reflects the perspective I've offered (guess you could say "I'm having the thought that I'm confused"). I'd call the...
This thread is fascinating, and it just brought up this question for me: It's about the 'leaves on a stream' exercise. It's a 'classic' defusion technique -...
Ha ha-this is a good thought! I guess it depends on the contingencies behind the image of leaves on a stream-if verbal processes are tapped into to 'create...
If fusion only means, "take something seriously" then the "problem" turns on the workability of what is being taken seriously in the context in which it is...
Incidentally--What if adding "I'm having the thought that..." in front of a problematic thought got some or all of its bump entirely through reframing, and not...
I would like to contribute three further points: (1) JT writes in his recent article “cognitive fusion refers to contexts where verbal transformations of...
I think your question shows the problem in defining defusion/fusion simply in terms of verbal processes ... as does Russ's leaves on the stream. If you follow...
... I struggled with this issue heavily when writing the paper (e.g., the "milk" exercise, or saying things very slowly or very quickly, etc., all seem to...
Yeah ... I do what to tell folks that J T's paper is really cool ... very helpful. We had a chapter to write on defusion recently and used his organizational...
Steve-- I actually couldn't disagree with you more on this one. I think it gets at a fundamental (though I agree, a very difficult to parse out) issue at the...
Hi JT -- I appreciate your struggle with this stuff. I'm not convinced that this debate will be resolved by talking in terms of verbal vs. non-verbal....
Hi John-- My apologies if I've misinterpreted the second sentence of your post, but I'm hoping by this point that it's clear I have not been advocating a...
Re: One of my key points in this thread is that there are plenty of contexts in which it is highly FUNCTIONAL to over-identify with thinking and to lose the...
Hi JT, Steve JT wrote: In the second case, one would readily imagine there's reframing happening (e.g., establishing a frame of distinction between "I" and "my...
Hi Patty, I totally agree with you. I never said what you seem to think I said. I think what's happened is you've got 2 different threads mixed up. In one ...

See, you really lost me here man. Watching thoughts as leaves on a stream is not defusion. Just fusion with other verbal stuff? You keeps saying that fusion...

I know it when I see it. This discussion is helping me to clarify my understanding of fusion, and perhaps even improve my ability to spot it during therapy ...
