  • 37: with Yvonne Barnes-Holmes

    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.

  • 35: on Treating Perpetrators

    Tim and Joanne continue their discussion of the complexities adapting ACT to trauma, focusing on working with perpetrators in this episode. We talk about the challenges of engaging offenders in treatment when they are sometimes mandated to attend or at other times don't view their behavior as problematic and making ACT experiential in a way that encourages perpetrators to understand their behavior functionally so that they can begin practicing ACT in and out of session.

  • 30: on Mindful Yoga-based ACT with Timothy Gordon, Jessica Borushok & Steve Ferrell

    Mindful Yoga-based ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a program created by Timothy Gordon and co-developed by Jessica Borushok and Steve Ferrell. MYACT is an 8 week group protocol integrating yoga into clinical practice for therapists that blends yoga philosophy with ACT and augments ACT's psychological flexibility training with yoga practices. Throughout the MYACT program, the six unique cores of ACT are trained during the yoga practice but also with new group activities to build meaningful interactions in therapeutic settings. The MYACT book includes adaptations of the group program to individual sessions and encourages clinicians to use yoga asana, breathing, mantra, chanting, and philosophy to augment the work they're already doing as an experiential approach to training psychological flexibility in-session.

    The Mindful Yoga-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy book by Timothy Gordon, Jessica Borushok, and Steve Ferrell is now available!

  • 29: with DJ Moran

    Daniel J. (DJ) Moran takes a deep dive with us into the discourse of ACT as an empirically supported treatment and how its underlying philosophy of functional contextualism can be used to empower clinicians as technical ecclectics, who can integrate other empirically supported treatments to expand the repertoire of responding organically to clinical and non-clinical situations without relying on "explanatory fictions" or theoretical ecclectism, while also honoring the experience, wisdom, and utility of non-ACT derived techniques and methods. Our conversation naturally evolves into discussing DJ's application of ACT as Acceptance & Commitment Training for organizational psychology and workplace safety. Our focus on the behavioral science tradition inspiring ACT assists us and we hope you too (our listener) in producing creative variations of ACT to meet the needs of the varied situations we find ourselves in professionally.
