Hi Carmen, The readingmaterial that was proposed by Hans and Hank certainly seems
relevant to your question. And it would make a great difference for me...
I'm sorry I wasn't at the WorldCon. I heard from several who went that it was a great experience, very open and enthusiastic community. Hopefully next year I...
Hi Jonathan, Worldcon II was fabulous. What I meant to say is not that language is everywhere. It is behavior,
verbal or nonverbal in the RFT sense that is...
Hi everybody, The Dutch ACT intervision group will be publishing the results of our first joint research soon: the Dutch translation of the AAQ-II. In order to...
I don't believe that this is the question. As far as the discussion of usefulness of RFT, I think it is a bit like standing next to a microscope, and arguing...

The conference was a great experience. Reflecting on the brainstorming session, I had this vision of an ACT training clinic. In my current MFT program, we...
Hi, For all of you that are interested in philosophy with an ACT/RFT relevance, I would like to recommend a book that I've been reading this summer: *The...
being a member of this list, I find it very exciting reading about the ongoing applications of ACT to serious mental health issues. however, as a former (not...
*Hi, Thanks for the recommendation. I haven't read this particular Yalom book, but I too observe parallels between Existentialism (see /"Love's Executioner"...
In addition, have you looked at Lance McCracken's and Kevin Vowles' work? Both presented at World Con II, and have put some thought into how this model ...
A few thoughts on all the stuff below. 1. If RFT turns out to be a good start at a behavioral account of human languaging then it would seem that it would do a...
Very helpful stuff, Hank. And I certainly don't want to get stuck in a position of defending ignorance. I'm just trying to make some wiggle room for folks (...
I would agree that when it comes to science, we don't all have to be in the business of making knowledge. However, it helps to consume what is produced if we...
In my clinical training experience Yalom's "Existential Psychotherapy" influenced my clinical thinking the most among non-ACT/RFT/Functional contextual...
Hi, To me you do not need to understand RFT to do ACT. But understanding RFT
like understanding conditioning (you do not have to know it in every detail
and a...
We are extending the deadline for poster abstracts in the hopes of fielding a larger group of strong submissions. Please let me know whether you plan to take...
Hi all, Welcome back from World Con! I'm very disappointed I missed it, and I am looking forward to hearing about some of the highlights. I just started my...

Hi Greg and all, It's good to be able to continue on the listserve the conversations we begun on workshops or on the conference. I'm still struggling to learn...
Here's my attempt at doing a very brief translation of an abbreviated form of RFT with examples..... Probably incoherent rambling at best. BACKGROUND TO RFT ...
At ACT SI II Yvonne gave the RFT summary and said basically "you don't need RFT to be a darned good ACT therapist." I think that is right. The pressure on the...
One addition to what I just said As a result of the connectiona that are emerging RFT clinicians are beginning to do workshops; and write chapters and books; ...
I just wanted to note, though, that even here (because he is simplifying to use plain speak, not because he does not know) there are some techinical glitches-...
Oops, sorry about this. I committed the fatal post to everyone. We were discussing this in my lab and sharing Doug's post and I meant to only send this to my...
Amy, Very good point to clarify. I used the term "cause" loosely to make the point in a colloquial sense. The "words" don't cause things for two reasons. ...
I appreciate the plainspeak, but I have to laugh at the challenge from Amy, and the subsequent retreat into fully-loaded geek-speak. I like examples. I like...
Does anyone have any experience with Open Focus tapes and exercises, created by Les Fehmi? I used them a little bit years ago and IIRC they are very much in...
Good morning, Studying RFT and Cognitive Linguistics, and in particular Johnosn/Laokoff linguistic theories about metaphor, enbodied mind and frames, it seems...
Hello all, I read about the below study in the June 2006 issue of Scientific American Mind. I find it very interesting from an RFT perspective. It's also in...
