| International Paper - 2006 ABA Tutorial: Making the World A Better Place…Context by Context and Frame by Frame |
| Abstract: Relational Frame Theory is a modern functional-analytic theory of human language, cognition and complex behavior more generally. The theory has generated an impressive body of research within the behavioral field over the past decade and has considerably advanced the behavioral analysis of a range of clinical and social issues that previously received only sparse attention from behavior analysts. In this tutorial, an outline of Relational Frame Theory and the contextualistic world view within which it has evolved will be provided for the novice researcher in a series of interactive exercises. The application of Relational Frame Theory to understanding a range of social issues, including human sexual behavior and prejudice will then be outlined. Finally, derived relations interventions for social problems suggested by current research will be considered. |
