Hi everyone, I have read lots of papers where functional contextualists (Steve and others) lay out FC's philosophical assumptions, worldview, goals, truth...
Doh! Of course! On reflection, it seems incredibly unlikely that Mark said this exactly as reported, as it's so inconsistent with the ACT message. Probably he...
There are some assumptions I know from REBT theory that refers to contextual/specific evaluations versus global evaluations of one self, others and life or the...
