So, I'll think out electronically for a moment or two here. First, I was struck a bit ago when I heard the phrase about making a choice and having reason's...
Quoting Steve Mahorney <steve.mahorney@...>: Then there's this business on 213 and 214 about asking why a reason is true as a way undermining the causal...
I find it useful to think of the salad as something you wasn't forced, by causality, to choose just because you tried it before and liked it. You could have...
I still don´t get the distinction between choice for reasons and choice with reasons.Will anybody huge-hearted explain it for me? Maybe it´s because in...
Try thinking of it this way: Making a choice for reasons is the same as making a choice because of reasons, while making a choice with reasons is the same as...
I am having the thought that I probably have a non-verbal understanding of this, if it's possible at all, and if I try to explain my understanding verbally, it...
Yes, I think you've got it--choice with reasons is a direct- contingency based behavior, and choice for reasons is rule-governed behavior. And I like the way...
Greetings all I am afraid my summary has come a little late, running a distant second the already excellent summary provided of later pages. I hope this...

Thanks, Chad: Yes, on his own, the client has mentioned a hair transplant. So far, that is not his top priority; I have not commented or advised. Before he...
A thought-provoking summary on values. Thanks, Gareth. I have run into some problems working in this area, in particular with two of my client groups:...
A possible question, "What is your 'not accepting hair loss' in the service of and is that really one of the MOST important, not just important, things to...
Hi all, I just realized I am up to bat on pages 219-229. Somehow July came before I was prepared for it. I will be summarizing this section over the next ...
Steve, I haven't read all the replies to this yet, but my knee-jerk reaction (judgment?) about the divorce thing is that the way it is explained seems quite...

Hey, Leslie, thanks for raising the question about with whom and when to discuss values. Keep in mind I'm VERY new to this (ACT) and this is just anecdotal,...
Greetings I constantly fall into a values trap, thinking that because i (thankfully!) have many varied functional roles, the ease with which i can explore...
I think Theresa raises an excellent point about adopting a very broad and open approach to values (the Miller card sort exercise sounds pretty cool - never...
