What you know about your Self?Join me as I mix it up with Dr. Louise McHugh to discuss this very important topic of The Self. She provides a friendly crash course in RFT and helps to show how RFT is useful in understanding different selfing repertoires. Dr. McHugh is associate professor of psychology at University College Dublin, a Fellow in the Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences, and has contributed mightily to the contextual behavioral science view of the self.

I’m joined by Dr. Mitch Fryling to discuss functional thinking and open the aperture a bit, from a causal way of interpretation, to a field perspective. Mitch is gifted at making Interbehavioral philosophy approachable and even fun. We dissect what “function” points at, public vs. private events, and problems with mentalistic thinking. Artilcles discussed:Are Thoughts Private:https://www.redalyc.org/pdf/593/59335812001.pdfOVERCOMING THE PSEUDO-PROBLEM OF PRIVATE EVENTS IN THE ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIOR:https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mitch-Fryling/publication/272788235_Overcoming_the_pseudo-problem_of_private_events_in_the_analysis_of_behavior/links/54ee091c0cf25238f9397168/Overcoming-the-pseudo-problem-of-private-events-in-the-analysis-of-behavior.pdfEmily Sandoz’ Interbehavior as a clinical focus in CBS: A response to Hayes and Fryling (2019) (full access available ACBS members) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2212144720302015?dgcid=rss_sd_allIf interested in training groups: [email protected]
