... Hi John I have only grazed the BAFT, but I was struck by two things that perhaps you can offer an elaboration. First, do you think a respondent will...
Hi David -- The BAFT was actually modelled after items on the ASI. What Georg and I tried to do was take many of the ASI items and reframe them so that we...
Hi, folks, Does anyone know of an ACT Friendly Therapist in Madison, Wisconsin? Mike Kirkeberg mike kirkeberg, mma, ladc, ceap Employee Assistance Programs ...
... I guess I was operationally defining believability as meaning how plausible the item was irrespective of whether it reflected my own personal beliefs....
David -- I think believability is ultimately about fusion with content. And, it seems that believability can be somewhat independent of probabilities of...
I don't think one can really address "believability" from an ACT perspective verses a second wave perspective until one takes RFT seriously. "Believability" is...
I am having the thought that it might be kinda cool to do what AABT does in order to increase membership. Members get recognized for bringing in new recruits....
Nicely put Hank. I think RFT is enormously helpful here. It is, as you say, all about functional control in context. -j John P. Forsyth, Ph.D. Associate...

Was reminded of something Einstein once said on the matter. It's like the relationship between the ticket you get when you check in your coat at the...
Hi Thomas! My name is Rodrigo and I´m from Brazil. I am working with ACT to adult ADHD and developing a treatment model for this condition. It is possible...
Good point. I think that there are two issues in this discussion of truth that have been comingled into one: one is the the verbal construct called truth, the...

Hi John: I am thinking out loud, but to what degree does the administration of a self-report measure such as the BAFT become an intervention? If someone...
Sorry to be a stick in the mud about this but I don't think Ragnar's note about Einstein's comment is about "correspondence" at all. It is about whether the...
Ragnar-- Do you know what the source of this Einstein quote is (so I can find out what it was verbatim)? Being able to quote Einstein, during a presentation,...

Hi Kara, it could be argued I'm being overly pedantic. By "Americans" do you include Brazilians, do you include those of the equally horrific phrase, western...
I think a bit of defusion is called for here. As a US citizen, I've championed the notion that we should not refer to ourselves as Americans or our country as...
... I don't think it's fair to use the Einstein quote in that way, implying that CBT or other people who have disagreements with ACT as bowing blindly to...
I think Monica is right on this ... History will judge whether we are Bozos. It's really not our call One cool thing about pouring effort into an attempt to...
