Abstract
This definitive professional manual teaches board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) the psychological flexibility model, as well as how to conceptualize their cases using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). With this guide, behavior analysts will learn how to create their own exercises and generate metaphors, be present with the unique individual learner in front of them, and practice the core ACT skills flexibly to ensure better behavior outcomes for clients and their families.
Comments
There are lots of manuals out there - this one is uniquely for applied behavior analysts. The sequence of learning strategies is straightforward and leads from simple to complex. The aim is to help you develop the conceptual framework from which to assess and intervene with your own novel, function-based ACT interventions.
