Upcoming Workshops
On February 21st, March 7th, March 21st, and April 4, 2009:
Getting Behavioral About ACT: An Online Crash-Course in Contemporary Behavior Analysis
This is a four-part series of online classes designed for clinicians who are interested in learning about the philosophical and theoretical basis of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Part history lesson, part developmental psychology, and entirely behavior-analytic, these classes will provide a broad and comprehensive overview of the assumptions, principles, and concepts that found ACT, from functional contextualism to rule-governance. The material will be presented step-by-step, concept-by-concept, and organized into a simplified framework accessible to those who are unfamiliar with behavioral principles and terminology.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This workshop is designed for beginners, intermediates, and the curious. It may be especially suitable for clinicians and students who are “converting” to ACT and lack formal training in behavior analysis. Feel free to contact Chad for more information.
