For those of you who weren't at Steve's talk on Associationism at ABA I'm attaching a copy of his powerpoint presentation -- It was one of the best things I've...

I am not an RFT expert, and indeed I once complained about how difficult it was to learn....and I've wondered if we really need to know RFT to do ACT..... The...
A senior but non-RFT person at ABA told me that framing relationally could be explained without recourse to RFT by someone who understood the whole of...
I suspect that one could **interpret** any instance of relational framing using Skinner's Verbal Behavior, but how functional are the concepts used to do so? ...

Amplifying just a bit on Dermot's response This is natural. People want their heros to hold up. My current usual answer to such a thing is this: "you are...
Great summary, but the clinical impact goes a bit deeper ... For example, you can easily use RFT to create powerful new clinical metaphors in flight / in...
Hi there -- my name is Chris Barthold and I am a doctoral student at the University of Maryland (College Park -- not the one that Charlie Catania's at). I'm...
... Hi Tony for a great example of how to 'synthesise' Skinner's VB with RFT, see: Ruth Anne Rehfeldt & Shannon L. Root (2005). Establishing derived requesting...
Joe, It is always nice to see your posts. Your dedication to studying ACT and RFT is admirable and inspiring. I have a few concerns about your latest post...
Thank you both for the copy of the presentation and for your reply, Dermot. I would certainly agree that a 50 year old work is unlikely to be adequate and...
I am not sure I agree with the car/ mechanic/ engineer analogy. I think driving the (ACT) car well comes from being able to read road signs, car gauges, and...
long sorry On the issue of what, or how much rft is necessary: For me, the issue is densely praqmatic, but there are multiple levels of workability that need...

I have just finished reading the presentation of Steve's that Dermott posted and it really tapped into a nagging doubt I've had over here in Oz for some time....
I thought I'd talked him into reviewing it actually but we never saw anything from him. He's pretty old and with the Iraq war etc he's had a lot of political...
... You were lucky.... ... OK then. The formula for combinatorial entailment (seems sensible to ask this re. the simplest relation) is Crel {A rx B ||| B ry...
Nice post Darin. My answer is, of course, pragmatic. Your behavior is too. Speaking has to be sensitive to the desired outcome and audiences differ. Even the...

rx and ry could both mean "is" but that is only one relation. rx (or relation x) could mean "smaller than" in which case ry would mean "larger than." The ...
Greetings Darin and all. I have been a listserve lurker for a while now, but had to comment on this post. I have a feeling it's going to be lengthier than I...
These are really good questions. I'd love to see what people think. In the early 1970's S-R learning theory collapsed into cognitive psychology, unable to make...
Great comments steve. I think this is a fascinating time in the history of psychology. Behaviorist say you are not behaviorist enough, and cog folks say your...
Is there something wrong with reductionism? Or are you just saying it's not enough by itself? Bart ... From: RFT@yahoogroups.com [mailto:RFT@yahoogroups.com]...
Steve, I always liked the term "radical behaviorism" because I thought it clearly underlined that it was MONISTIC behaviorism rather than the "let's just not...
Reductionism is based on the assumption that phenomena at one level of analysis must be explained by phenomena at another, more elemental level of analysis in...
These frames of coodination: radical = extreme (ask anyone) behaviorism = Watson; no thoughts / no feelings; simple and mechanical (ask anyone) radical...
Okay, I see what you are saying. It seems to me that you just reduce things as far as you need to in order to get the problem solvable as efficiently as ...
Absolutely. But probably in this sentence you "reduce to get solvable " in the sense of mean "simplify to make solvable" not really "take to another level of ...
