- •ACT: Applied framework for psychological flexibility and values-based action
- •CBS: Integrates both within behavior science
Professional Boundaries
- •BCBA credential: Board Certified Behavior Analyst
- •Not psychotherapy without additional licensure
- •Behavior analytic intervention focused on functionally related behaviors
Evidence Base
- •40+ years of RFT research
- •300+ RCTs supporting ACT
- •Growing evidence for family applications
