ACBS Colombia was founded in 2020 with the goal of fostering and strengthening the practice of Contextual Behavioral Science (CBS) and its related fields.
In Colombia, behavioral science has extensively grown since the 70s. This community of behavior analytic researchers and practitioners has flourished in the middle of a very complex context within a country that have a history of over 60 years of internal conflict. The intricate social and cultural dynamics that converge in Colombia demand analyses and interventions that aid promoting people’s wellbeing and psychological flexibility, foundational aspects of CBS.
The members of the ACBS Colombian chapter (ACBS-CO) have widely diverse interests, going from basic (e.g., RFT, EBA) to applied research (e.g. ACT, FAP, cultural practices), passing through translational and dissemination areas.
ACBS-CO wants to offer a space in which its members can share new knowledge and experiences while finding support to continue growing as practitioners, researchers, and students.
