Steven C. Hayes is a Nevada Foundation Professor in the Behavior Analysis program at the Department of Psychology at the University of Nevada. An author of 47 books and over 675 scientific articles, he is the originator of Relational Frame Theory (RFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Functional Contextualism. His popular book Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life was the first general purpose ACT self-help book and was featured in Time Magazine among several other major media outlets and for a time was the best-selling self-help book in the United States. His book, A Liberated Mind, has summarized the history of ACT and Contextual Behavior Science. Dr. Hayes has been President of several scientific societies, including ACBS, and he has received several national awards, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. Google Scholar ranks him as among the top most cited living scholars in all areas of study and Research.com ranks him as among the most cited psychologists in the world. He is currently trying to explicate a Process-Based Therapy approach (which he is developing with Stefan Hofmann, Joseph Ciarrochi, and several others), using ACR development strategies in part as a model.
On completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe how the the six processes in a traditional ACT approach to psychological flexibility / inflexibility are expanded by the Extended Evolutionary Meta-Model
- Describe the requirements for phenomena to be ergodic
- Explain how the six flexibility processes can be extended to the sociocultural level
- Demonstrate the ability to formulate an EEMM consistent case conceptualization using a network approach
- List the six kinds of healthy yearnings that underlie the six psychological inflexibility processes and link these ideas to the EEMM
- Describe how psychological flexibility processes satisfy the yearnings the sit inside inflexibility processes
- Explain the link between eugenics and psychometrics or for normative conceptual categories as applied to individuals
- Describe the essential requirements of idionomic statistics
- Link common idionomic statistical methods to process-based case conceptualization
- List at least two client actions that indicate each of the flexibility / inflexibility processes during a session
- Describe how the EEMM expansion of psychological flexibility expands ACT
- Show how cognitive reappraisal can be done in a way that fit the EEMM
- Describe how neurobiological measures can compliment EEMM based EMA assessments
- Demonstrate at least two methods to move each of the key features of processes of change in the EEMM
