Hi Philippe, Thank you for taking the time. The difference between effective and
ineffective rules for therapists is important, I agree. And I like the way
you...
Philippe, I'm with you 100%.... & I also remember that v. moving Kelly moment.... how would you spend your last hour with a person if you knew that it was your...
I think of it this way: The control agenda is natural and strong; in order to "motivate" acceptance the client must be very in touch experientially with the...
??? Please defend your first sentence. It makes no sense to me Reinforcers function as UCSs at the same time; they can both gain discriminative functions at...

Sorry. Bad choice of words. “Please defend” sounds awfully bossy and invites my dear former student to be, well, defensive. How about “Patty could you...
If our unit of analysis is “the act in context” then the context in which something functions as a reinforcer is different from the context in which it...
No, that is too slick (and if you mean it, you can have no issue with tracks and augmentals anyway, so it is also internally inconsistent) Take autoshaping....
My method of using CH is very much like Jonathan's. I bring it up early on, but I don't tend to force my clients to sit with it for a really long time. ...
The Family Counseling Center, a Division of Trinity Services, is seeking full-time licensed clinicians to provide comprehensive therapeutic services to adults,...
I'm comfortable with "the positive power of despair." Somebody on the list suggested it a while back and it seems to work for me in pointing out the control...
The "second" point below was garbled and should have read as follows: Second, to, "Or what if in some contexts 'I must know what to do or I can't stand it' is...
HI Russ, I conduct CH in a number of ways. Sometimes I carry it out over two sessions (depending on clinical judgment and entrenchment of control strategy) and...

... *Hi there, It's my sense so far (still quite new to ACT) that it's not so much that there is no way to feel good, but rather "feeling good" as desired ...
Hello. My name is Christopher Cushing. I am a member of the Missouri State University Health Psychology Laboratory under the supervision of Ann Branstetter....
From below: "You can control your controllable external world in a more or less efficient way..." I must say I always get a kick out of this assertion. I have...
I'd say the problem is more than the verbal rules that "don't work." "Excess tracking" in the way you might consider using the term seems, to me, to be "too...
Hi, About the pain/suffering distinction: as I see it, the intention of ACT is not to get rid of suffering. Indeed there isn't any human being who has never...

Hank - I would not dismiss the assertion so quickly. In your example, you have fishing gear and a way to get to the water - the direct result of pragmatic...
