A multiple-baseline evaluation of a brief acceptance and commitment therapy protocol focused on repetitive negative thinking for moderate emotional disordersIn JCBS Vol. 9, Francisco J. Ruiz et al., state that repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is an experiential avoidance strategy. RNT is usually the first response to aversive private experiences. The paper concludes that ACT protocols focused on disrupting RNT can be very effective. ACBS members can read it for free in the JCBS member portal. |

Continuing Education (CE) Committee
Continuing Education (CE) CommitteeThe Continuing Education (CE) committee shall be responsible for staying abreast of industry guidelines on Continuing Education. The committee also evaluates ACBS events and co-sponsor training events for CE suitability and approval.
ACBS is approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. We offer the opportunity for non-profit associations and the general public to hold training events where they are able to offer CEs for Psychologists through ACBS. In order to do so, an organization or individual must complete the Co-Sponsor Application Form and then be approved by the Continuing Education Committee of ACBS. You can read about CE co-sponsorship on the ACBS website. https://contextualscience.org/acbs_CE_co-sponsorship
