Do you like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and feel like your keep missing the nail?
Want to:
- Get grounded in the foundation stones?
- See contingencies?
- Add context?
- Be a functional contextualist? (and know what that means)
This is a new podcast that seeks to excavate the roots of the contextual behavioral sciences, so that the fruit that us clinician deliver is as pristine as possible. It's a sequential experience that takes non-congenital behaviorists beyond the 6 core processes, and just saying "milk, milk, milk". Many of us that come to ACT/CBS don’t get past the razzle and dazzle...Well, walk with me on this quest and lets play with the boring that the razzle dazzle is built on.

#33 Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy w/ Henry Whitfield
#33 with Henry Whitfield. We discuss his recent publication (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2021.727572/full), issues of self and content/process/context, and finish with a real-play demonstration of Henry leading me through a integration session.
Henry is a peer reviewed ACT trainer. He has written, co-written and edited training manuals for ACT, TIR and FAP. As a visiting research fellow at Regents University London, he focuses his research on the development of ACT-consistent models for psychedelic-assisted therapy. His psychedelic plant medicine path has changed how he does psychotherapy especially with self-concept issues.

What you know about your Self?
Join me as I mix it up with Dr. Louise McHugh to discuss this very important topic of The Self. She provides a friendly crash course in RFT and helps to show how RFT is useful in understanding different selfing repertoires. Dr. McHugh is associate professor of psychology at University College Dublin, a Fellow in the Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences, and has contributed mightily to the contextual behavioral science view of the self. GO AND GET A COPY of her he book A Contextual Behavioral Guide to the Self: Theory and Practice. It's a must read for ACT clinicians.

#31 Mitch Fryling
I’m joined by Dr. Mitch Fryling to discuss functional thinking and open the aperture a bit, from a causal way of interpretation, to a field perspective. Mitch is gifted at making Interbehavioral philosophy approachable and even fun. We dissect what “function” points at, public vs. private events, and problems with mentalistic thinking.
Artilcles discussed:

Customer Reviews
So much knowledge it’s worth a replay!
I’m working my way through my second listening of Season 1 of this podcast because it’s rich with all sorts of helpful ideas for me as a new CBS-loving clinician. Thank you, Marcel for creating my favorite companion to walking or cooking!
Rich and Fertile Content
Marcel is bringing forward conversations ripe for the picking and worth the listen. His interview style is intellectual, yet laid back. Wonderful asset to the ACBS community and such a lovely service for clinicians. Thank you, Marcel!
