Functionally Speaking

Before the Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences conference in The Netherlands, there were many requests to record the workshops.  Joanne Dahl, Jennifer Plumb, Ian Stewart, and Tobias Lundgren led a fantastic workshop entitled The Art & Science of Valuing in Psychotherapy.  They wrote a book with  the same title published by New Harbinger, and it is excellent. 

This is Part Two of the workshop.  Just to clarify, all I did was record this workshop and asked for permission to post it here on the Functionally Speaking website.  Enjoy!

You might need some references for this version of Functionally Speaking.  The intro alludes to a Washington Post article called Pearls Before Breakfast that I found particularly condescending and is related to a series of posts on the ACT Listserve called “A Violinist in the Metro” from March 2008.

During the discussion about mindfulness in the podcast, you might like to have the Inflexahex Case Conceptualization Worksheet available, and it is available at the ACT in Practice website.

Finally, back in the mid-1990's my metal band, SONIPATH, wrote a song called ACT. I discuss the song a bit at the end of the podcast.  If you are interested in the lyrics visit my blog on the ACBS website: http://www.contextualpsychology.org/blog/dj_moran.  If you can't find the lyrics on that page, it is because you aren't an ACBS member.  Please consider joining: http://www.contextualpsychology.org/join

In addition, there are a few ACT trainings coming up.  Please contact me for more information about these workshops:

This edition of Functionally Speaking starts with a brief explanation of the term "truth" from a functional contextual perspective, and then is followed by an interview with Niklas Torneke about his new book ABC’s of Human Behavior: Behavior Principles for the Practicing Clinician.  (Please forgive me if I call the book ‘excellent’ too many times.  It might be distracting, but it is that good!) Finally, I’ll relay a story about a kid who learns a lot about life by playing baseball.

Introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Case Conceptualization workshops with D.J. Moran are scheduled for:
