This is a four-part series of online classes designed for clinicians who are interested in learning about the philosophical and theoretical basis of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Part history lesson, part developmental psychology, and entirely behavior-analytic, these classes will provide a broad and comprehensive overview of the assumptions, principles, and concepts that found ACT, from functional contextualism to rule-governance. The material will be presented step-by-step, concept-by-concept, and organized into a simplified framework accessible to those who are unfamiliar with behavioral principles and terminology.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This workshop is designed for beginners, intermediates, and the curious. It may be especially suitable for clinicians and students who are “converting” to ACT and lack formal training in behavior analysis. Feel free to contact Chad for more information.

PROVIDER
Chad Drake, Ph.D., has been an active student and researcher of ACT and Relational Frame Theory for the past 7 years. Much of his clinical experience has involved conducting ACT groups for PTSD, depression, and psychosis, while his research experience has included basic studies on derived relational responding with the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure and other behavioral measures. He received graduate training at the University of Mississippi under Kelly Wilson, co-author of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: An Experiential Approach to Behavior Change. His internship with Kevin Polk and Jerold Hambright at the VA Medical Center in Togus, Maine, involved development of “Radical ACT”, an elegantly simplified protocol for ACT treatment of veterans with PTSD. Currently he is a psychologist resident with Jason Luoma and Jenna LeJeune at the Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, & Training Center in Portland, Oregon.
