Hi

 

If you listened to Jonathan Tarbox's episode a while back, you may remember he referenced some work he and Dr. Evelyn Gould did with regard to using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for in the context of parent training. 

 

Well, I'm lucky enough to have Evelyn come on the show to discuss this with me directly. Do you want to join in on the conversation? If so, please send me your question, and I'll do my best to work it into the interview. 

 

And please do so quickly as I am speaking with her very soon!

 

Not familiar with this area of our field, well check this article out for more context. 

 

Finally, Evelyn is joining forces with past BOP guests Mark Dixon and Steve Hayes, along with David Sloan Wilson, and will be conducting another ACT Bootcamp for Behavior Analysts! If this is something you're interesred in, here's the details:

 

Join us for this 4-day ACT BootCamp for Behavior Analysts workshop in Reno, Nevada, with Steven C. Hayes, Evelyn Gould, Mark Dixon, and David Sloan Wilson. This workshop is designed to provide behavior analysts a foundational understanding of acceptance and commitment training (ACT). ACT’s conceptual and empirical basis has strengthened considerably over the last three decades, and it is now fully entering into the armamentarium of BCBAs in areas like parent training, staff management & development, organizational work, work with developmentally delayed populations or the chronically mentally ill, educational settings with special needs students, and beyond.

 

What’s new at this BootCamp? Prosocial methods for groups!

 

All successful behavior analysis programs have to deal with groups, whether it be with schools, agencies, businesses, or their own staff. This year, we will emphasize how ACT and RFT can empower organizational and team effectiveness. Renowned evolutionary scientist David Sloan Wilson, PhD, will train you on how to implement Prosocial, a new method for helping groups work better together.
