As a behavior analyst working with clients to effect change, words matter. Understanding complex language allows you to skillfully navigate your work to help clients build better lives. Relational frame theory (RFT) suggests the main building block of language and cognition is relating—the ability to flexibly respond to links between one thing and another, generating new connections in the process (that is, derived relational responding and transformations of function). This professional guide outlines the principles of RFT, and offers practical applications and tools to enhance your practice.
With a focus on establishing psychological flexibility, prosociality, and cooperative contexts for change at all levels of analysis, Understanding and Applying Relational Frame Theory provides a comprehensive overview of RFT to help you use language effectively in your work and life. You’ll learn to apply a behavior analytic understanding of complex language to a variety of settings—including education, mental health, and business. You’ll discover how complex verbal repertoires affect individual behavior, as well as how relational framing functions in the context of groups. Finally, you’ll learn how RFT can be applied to issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion—as well as global sustainability.

If you feel stuck, directionless, or unmotivated, you may be seeking a new path in life—one that feels rewarding, inspiring, and meaningful. The question is, where do you begin? You’ve likely heard all about mindfulness—a powerfully effective tool for helping people find focus, balance, and a greater sense of purpose. But how do you actually apply mindfulness to your life?
This step-by-step workbook can help you put mindfulness into action—every day. Using the Mindful Action Plan (MAP) approach—a fully customizable set of skills grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)—you’ll identify what you deeply care about, increase motivation, and start moving forward toward your goals. Most importantly, you’ll make a commitment to create the positive change you desire.

Relational Frame Theory (RFT) views generalized derived relational responding—relational framing—as the core skill involved in human language. As such, RFT is essential for flexible, fluent conversational skills and academic progress. Our approach to early intervention integrates RFT theory and applied research on the assessment and training of derived relational responding skills with strategies developed by programs which follow a more traditional behavior analytic and specifically Skinnerian analysis of verbal behavior. In this handbook we focus on assessing, establishing, and capitalizing on derived relational responding repertoires in frames of coordination (equivalence), and show you how doing so can promote generalized and generative language repertoires. Throughout this handbook, we identify relational responding repertoires as behavioral cusps to teach towards an ultimate aim of establishing generative language, and present a powerful framework for approaching early intervention, based on RFT and informed by decades of research and practice.

Relational Frame Theory (RFT) views generalized derived relational responding – relational framing – as the core skill involved in human language. As such, RFT is essential for flexible, fluent conversational skills and academic progress. Our approach to early intervention integrates RFT theory and applied research with strategies developed by programs which follow a more traditional behavior analytic and specifically Skinnerian analysis of verbal behavior. In Volume 2 of this handbook series, we focus on assessing and establishing relational responding repertoires in patterns of distinction, comparison, opposite, spatial, and temporal framing. We emphasize how doing so can promote generalized and generative language repertoires, taking a developmental approach beginning with early non- arbitrary relational responding and proceeding step by step towards arbitrarily-applicable derived relational responding across these patterns. Throughout, we identify relational responding repertoires as behavioral cusps to teach towards an ultimate aim of establishing generative language, and present a powerful framework for approaching early intervention, based on RFT and informed by decades of research and practice.
