Connections Behavior Planning and Intervention is excited to welcome Dr. Yvonne Barnes-Holmes and Dr. Ciara McEnteggart for a Continuing Education webinar for Behavior Analysts! This event will focus on Process-based Behavior Therapy (PBBT™), an emerging behavior-change technology based in the presenters’ extensive research in Relational Frame Theory.
Abstract:
This is an opportunity to explore what the recent focus on process-based therapy adds to the clinician’s toolkit, by looking toward a newly developed therapy referred to as Process-based Behavior Therapy (PBBT). Fully grappling with the question of what is a process allows clinicians to add precision and depth to their therapeutic work. The definitions of clinically relevant processes have now been clearly identified by recent conceptual developments that have updated Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and PBBT harnesses these processes fully to guide clinical analyses and interventions.
For a more in-depth primer, you can review a recent paper by the presenters HERE.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will define ‘processes’ in the context of process-based behavior therapy, in functional-analytic terms.
- Participants will identify the processes at work in individual clients or groups, given case-study examples.
- Participants will identify behaviors that indicate specific processes at work, to better understand problematic clinical behaviors.
- Participants will practice skills to assess a client’s processes.
- Participants will identify how to intervene on client’s problematic processes using appropriate interventions, given case examples.
