Functionally Speaking

Functionally Speaking #6

djmoran — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 01:50:21 +0000

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

Chicagoland - April 25, 2009

Functionally Speaking #5

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:

Toronto – November 22, 2008
Pittsburgh – December 6, 2008
New York City – January 31, 2009

Please email Daniel.Moran@comcast.net for more information.

Thanks for listening!

Enjoy the second edition of Functionally Speaking. This podcast includes part two of my interview with Steve Hayes plus an interview with Rob Zettle about his new book ACT for Depression. In addition, Sonja Batten discusses committed action and the differences between ACT and CBT related to treatment goals. The podcast ends with a song called Autopilot, written by David Gillanders. David performed the song unplugged at the ACT Summer Institute in Houston to a riveted crowd.
