Relational Frame Theory (RFT) has gained interest as a disctinct approach to working with human psychopathology from a functional analysis framework including cognition. Yvonne Barnes-Holmes, our guest on this episode of the podcast has long been at the helm of pioneering innovations in RFT from basic science, laboratory experiements to a clinical application of RFT, ROE (relating, orienting, evoking). Yvonne shares her insights into clinical practice from a ROE/RFT approach that is unique and will be of interest to clinicians seeking to advance their ACT practice or simply find novel of applying the theory under the proverbial hood of ACT.
