PSY8354 Relational Frame Theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
In this course, learners distinguish the basic concepts and explore research in the areas of verbal behavior, rule-governed behavior, language development, emergent responding, arbitrarily applicable derived relational responding and relational frame theory (RFT). Learners also evaluate and apply techniques used in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for a wide range of human behaviors. Learners analyze the conceptual and empirical contributions of behavior analytic principles, including RFT, to the development and practice of ACT.
