Hi Marco In my opinion the video is neither sensible nor empathic. By displaying an image of a Christian church, as opposed to a mosque or a temple, the...
Hank It is a good point to make that forgiveness in the Christian sense does not depend on a person's worthiness - quite the opposite. A relevant defusion...

I remember that in my first two or three ABAs 2003-2005, RFT was still controversial. I remember a particularly memorable panel Steve did with Jose Burgos and...
I agree with Jonathan that RFT seems to be accepted as " a part of the family". At the same time I was surprised at the ignorence regarding RFT even with...
These are really good topics to discuss at the Clinical special interest group meeting at ABA, where we can plan who to invite to the conference and what sorts...
A couple of thoughts… As a behavior analyst who is trying to get more involved with this area, I am finding that the talks did not seem to be as heavily ...
I like the "invite a BCBA to be a discussant at the Clinical ABA talk" - both in general (because it increases audience size) and personally (because I get...
DJ, I think I hear what you are saying. I am generally not a "if some is good, more is better" guy but in this case I am thinking it would be an interesting to...

Hi all, Phoenix was my first ABAI. To be frank, I hadn't realized while planing to go that there would be so many ACT-RFT talks. I met a lot a fellows there, I...
All, I've been contacted by a Baltimore area therapist who is looking for an ACT therapist who can do in vivo exposure with a client who has a driving phobia....

Hi Ingrid, First of all, thanks for replying so honestly. I was kind of surprised by your reaction when I first read it, but after a while I realized this was...
My comment on the space to have a soccer match in the back of the room was a comment on the room, not the attendance. The room was stupid big--no one at ABA...
