Connections Behavior Planning and Intervention is welcomes Dr. Matthew Skinta, Peer-Reviewed ACT Trainer, for a two-hour webinar for Behavior Analysts! This event will focus on the role of sexual/gender-identity as it impacts overt social behaviors.
Abstract
The purpose of this training is to provide a model for integrating findings on sexual and gender minority stress with behavior analytic principles, particularly in regard to social interactions. Participants will learn of common interpersonal behaviors that are experienced as challenging among the general public, and those specific to sexual and gender minority people. While grounded in the Functional Analytic Psychotherapy literature, no prior experience with FAP is required. Using the model of the Matrix from ACT, we will practice sorting interpersonal behaviors as under aversive or appetitive control as a framework for the collaborative development of treatment goals. Finally, a variety of clinical examples will be presented for participants to practice these skills.
