Thanks Serafin. Yvonne and I wrote a small intro-type piece in the Psych Record back in 1991. I think it was called "Radical Behaviorism, Stimulus Equivalence,...

Folks have asked about the ACT Summer Institute. I've delayed answering because it is still forming, but here is the news so far. Jay Luoma has agreed to be...
So, let me get this straight (super obvious question for RFT'ers).... take the sentence, "cat's are dictators?" The relata are "cat's" and "dictators." The...
The way that I think of the sentence 'Cats are dictators' is primarily in terms of the Crel aspects. Sentences of the type 'Class A are Class B' seem to me to...

Yes, you provide a very nice example, whichs helps one to get the Crel/Cfunc distinction "experientially." I think this clearly illustrates the utility of the...
I have another question about directionality... Suppose Joseph says "Bush is Hitler", and I derive the relation, "Joe hates Bush" so now the functions of...

Hi Joseph (and the rest of the list) Derivation of relations between objects automatically involves transformation of functions so Crel and Cfunc are...

Hi Joe, Here's my five cents (only costs me about 2p these days!) on these issues. One of the problems that we run into when we talk about metaphor or any ...
Niklas, re the analysis of metaphor, I think that the process you suggest might occur. However, I would argue that variations might also occur - perhaps it's...

It seems to me that hierarchical or classification or whatever is the relation derived...isn't that what makes metaphors 'abstract'? E.g. if "is" or "are"...
Patty, I don't see 'is' or ' are' as 'meaning' equivalence. To me they are cues for the derivation of equivalence relations under certain circumstances. These...

I think you're right. I made a quick 'n' dirty Ebbinghaus and tested myself for what I would come up with if I was presented with "x is y", and asked to fill...
What I mean is that X is Y is only true in a context of a relation..."my cat is grey" is (1) not a metaphor, and (2) only 'true' (hold 'true' very loosely') in...
The functions of cats don't transfer to dictators because the relation is 'hierarchical like', we describe the relation as 'hierarchical-like' because the...
