A case study where the client was a professional chess-player is presented. The objective of the intervention was to improve his chess performance. The chess-player attempts to control and avoid some private events and such a pattern of behaving causes a decrease in his performance. These attempts are functional equivalent and understandable from the experiential avoidance perspective. Consequently, a brief intervention of four sessions following ACT was implemented in two months.

In the Relational Frame Theory literature, the term "formative augmenting" is used to describe transformations of function that establish particular consequences as either reinforcers or as punishers. This type of behavior is important because derived consequential stimuli may control behavior in the absence of direct training. The experiments described here are laboratory models of formative augmenting, in accordance with the relations of Same, Opposite, More-than and Less-than.

El objetivo de este estudio teórico es destacar las posibilidades aplicadas de la Teoría de los Marcos Relacionales (RFT) en el ámbito clínico. En primer lugar, describiremos de manera muy breve algunos de los principales conceptos técnicos de la teoría (por ejemplo, los conceptos de transformación de funciones y de operante generalizada).

The authors, researchers at the National University of Ireland and Southern Illinois University, conducted the current study to attempt to capture in real time the unfolding of the relational operant using electroencephalography (EEG) and reaction time measures. Participants were exposed to relational pretraining to establish the contextual cues of Same and Opposite for two arbitrary stimuli.

The suffering correlated to having cancer is experience that most patient confront. However, in spite of the psychological impact of such an event, the course of life is affected by the way patient cope with fears, worries, negative memories and thought about the future. High believability with such private events occur when a patient behaves according to the and, consequently, his or her life becomes limited and impoverished.

El diagnóstico de una enfermedad como el cáncer, la información sobre la ineficacia de los tratamientos quimioterápicos, la diseminación de la enfermedad, o el paso desde los tratamientos activos hacia los cuidados paliativos, etc., enfrentan directamente a la persona enferma, a su sistema familiar y social de referencia y al equipo sanitario que le está atendiendo, con la presencia de una parte de la vida: la muerte.
