Description: Arbitrarily applied what? Derived relational who? If you started learning about Relational Frame Theory (RFT), and then stopped when you read: Crel {ArxB and BrxC…}, or have just been interested in learning the basics of RFT, this is the introductory workshop for you. This workshop will outline and explain the basic concepts of RFT and help the audience members understand an expanded functional approach to verbal behavior. The workshop will simplify functional contextualism principles and discuss the basic RFT research methods and results in a manner that will help people who are new to RFT to begin applying the concepts to their own clinical and research endeavors. The presenters will make clear the core assumptions of functional contextual behavior analysis and how they apply to discussing language and cognition.The goal is not let your eyes glaze over as the presenters discuss transformation of stimulus functions, generalized operants, and the different types of derived relating. Most importantly, the presenters plan to help everyone have an enjoyable time while “framing events relationally” about RFT. |
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
Describe what is relational frame theory.
List what the fundamental assumptions of modern functional contextual behavior analysis compared to mainstream psychology’s fundamental assumptions.
State what occurs with transformation of stimulus functions. |
Activities: The workshop will be guided by an animated slide show and will be punctuated with audience participation, and small group participation. |
