Greetings to everyone on the Llandudno weekend back in March, and anyone else on the UKACT list. First of all, I've been wondering whether this list is fully...
This is the Institute and workshop information I have to date: 1. Kelly's experiential workshop will be either 28-30 September or 29 September - 1 October (one...
What about going to one of these workshops? (Info attached) Brian Dr Brian Glaister Psychologist in Private Practice 135 Foxley Lane Purley CR8 3HR UK Phone...
This looks to me like the one Mark Webster was organizing but I thought it was bigger and Yvonne Barnes-Holmes was part of it. Is Mark on this list? I'll cc...
Hi there, I can only give you my humble opinion as a trainee clinical psychologist, but here goes…My own view on the subject would to be to keep the...
I kind of agree with brother Dave here, and by kind of I mean totally. I'm also a trainee clinical psychologist and have first had experience of the ...
I wouldn't call it denying our own philosophy of science actually. Functional contextualism is the philosophy of science underlying ACT / RFT. True,...
now that ive got my pro-behaviourist soapbox speel out of my system! I can see Steves point about the terms being functionally the same. I suppose as a...
My position would be a little more pragmatic I think. Outside of the "movement", the use of contextualism or functional contextualism may simply not be...
Hi, I like the term "third wave", as long as the behaviour title features in there somewhere. "Third wave behaviour therapies" is good, and suggests pragmatism...
HI I think if we are keeping the B, then I agree with Dave and Richard that "third wave" is good, as it incorporates the DBT and MBCT aspects as well. Also, I ...
Hi, I agree with Richard in that I think that the title of the conference could
serve a pragmatic purpose - encouraging those people in the UK & Europe who
are...
Dear Folks Here's a different perspective. I'm not a clinical psychologist, or a behaviourist, or a cognitive therapist. I teach/train/research MBCT, and...
Like AJP, my gut reaction is to keep B in the title. However, my evaluation of the likely impact is that it would serve us better to leave it out and word the...
Hi Colleagues, I would like to introduce myself before responding to Steven's question about the word 'behaviour'/'behavior' being included within the...
howdy, I can well relate to David (Steares) experience of trying to incorporate behavioural terms and practice into systemic or SFT approaches. I have a habbit...
Hi David, I remember from the conference I attended that Kelly has done, or is doing, some work on using ACT through a systemic approach with children,...
Thanks, Aidan, for your comments and information. Yes, I've downloaded the protocols but I don't intend to use ACT as an approach until I've received some...
If you are trying to learn ACT and you can't access direct training I'd put aside RFT for a while. Instead, read the 2004 ACT book; the 1999 ACT book; the 2005...
Thanks, Steven, I was planning to read your 'Get Out.' book first, and then go back to the 2004 ACT book. As for training, I'm trying to persuade my employer...
Hi, just a quick hello and in case you didn't know about the Autumn Institute to post the details to the list. There's even an RFT workshop. Hope to see you...
To whom this email concerns, I recieved an email regarding the ACT Autumn Institute In bournemouth. However, the email was infected with a virus and thusly the...
