Hi Patty & Scott,Thanks for your thought-provoking responses. Scott, thanks for forwarding Patty's response -- been having trouble with my computer & my home...
Larry, Thank you so much for so clearly expressing your thoughts on this topic. I had similar objections and disagreements when reading the 1999 ACT book, but...
It seems a bit wierd to have to respond to the idea that cognition is important. Is there another approach in applied psychology that built its own ...
Just a few things to add to the discussion. First, its probably safe to say that most behaviorists hold that thoughts are important. As both others have...

To extend the example to prediction of future events, does the prediction "it's going to rain" lead to taking an umbrella, or does the observation of dark...

dear listservers: I am interested in hearing from clinicians about whether you feel that learning RFT has helped you in being a good ACT therapist. I find RFT...
I think RFT *is* relevant for clinical skills. We now have a whole slew of specific moves we can draw upon in doing ACT, with more to come. My knowledge of RFT...
I'd be interested in some examples. I do think there is something in knowing the RFT theory. ... From: acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy@yahoogroups.com...

Hi, Just a short note, lack of time... I also think understanding RFT is important for really knowing and doing ACT, especially in the long run. That does not...

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...
I actually cringed after re-reading my last email because I suggest that it is the social comparing that is the "cause" of nasty behavior.. But in RFT, the...
"So the bad news is the painful social comparisons are probably going to keep showing for the rest of our lives." As I typed a whole paragraph and confused...
I think the guts of the problem was illuded (alluded?) to in an earlier post by Steve. Namely, there is nothing "wrong" with moves that rely on changing the...
I think learning RFT is very useful, which doesn't mean you have to become an expert (at least I hope not). It's useful in making a functional analysis of...

John and others, IMO, William has made an excellent point here. In the interest of bridging the scientist-practitioner gap, it would be very helpful to have...
Thanks, everyone, for the very interesting comments on the clinical implications of RFT. What I'm picking up from people's responses is that the key addition...
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...
I do see understanding RFT as helpful in my feeble attempts at using ACT. The trouble is, as always, so much to know, so little time, especially for a non...
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...
Can you make room for the following considerations? I'm having the thought that "RFT is too hard" If the difficulty were in the room, what would it look like? ...
Here's one maybe. "When nymph fishing, watch the end of the line and when it does something out of the ordinary, strike!" Now that looks like a rule. But "does...
