I wanted to let you know about a significant change to the Polk & Hambright Group ACT Protocol; we have replaced the iView with The Grid. As the people who participated in the ACT for Groups training know, The Grid consists of two discrimination tasks. These discrimination tasks were in the iView, but we were not explicitly training them. After doing both the iView and The Grid in groups, we tried dropping the iView and did only The Grid. Data and clinical observation agree that faster behavioral change toward values occurs with The Grid only. We think that is because the iView was delaying the start of the discrimination training.
All of this will be in two World Con presentations, the Wednesday one about the iView and then the Idiot's Guide to ACT in Groups workshop on Thursday.
I will be posting written material soon.
email me if you have any questions or would like to joint one of the upcoming webinars. (They are also listed in the events calendar.)
Sincerely,
Kevin
