Description

Evidence-based therapy is changing. Where once treatment favoured protocols for certain syndromes, now, in a new era of process-based therapy, the focus has turned to the needs, strengths, and cultural background of clients—and the processes that result in an uplifting relationship between them and their practitioner. When therapists can identify these processes, or underlying mechanisms, they’re better equipped to help clients successfully reach their goals. In this paradigm-shifting recording, you’ll discover:

  • The key features of process-based therapy
  • How to detect and target processes of change in your client
  • What a case conceptualization based on processes looks like
  • How to implement ACT’s psychological flexibility as a process of change

Dr. Steven C. Hayes is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno, and president of the Institute for Better Health, a 45-year-old charitable organization dedicated to better mental and behavioral health.

His work has been focused on developing a new behavioral science approach called Contextual Behavioral Science. He originated its underlying philosophical of science (Functional Contextualism), its basic science of human higher cognition (Relational Frame Theory or “RFT”), its application to individual psychological change (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Training, “ACT” in either case), and co-developed its application to the development of more cooperative groups (Prosocial). He has helped develop a model of human suffering and human prosperity (the Psychological Flexibility Model), a new method of analyzing processes of change (idionomic analysis), a new vision of what evidence-based intervention should be (Process-Based Therapy), and he has extended multidimensional and multilevel evolutionary thinking to human problems of all kinds.

His work has been celebrated with several awards, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and the Impact of Science on Application Award from the Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis.

With 47 books and nearly 700 scientific articles published, Dr. Hayes is one of the most cited psychologists in the world as he continues to innovate in the field of psychology.
