“…Others have investigated the transfer and transformation of approach and avoidance functions (Gannon, Roche, Kanter, Forsyth, & Linehan, 2011); compared direct experience, instructions and AARR pathways for fear and avoidance acquisition (Dymond, Schlund, Roche, De Houwer, & Freegard, 2012); examined transfer of self-reported arousal (Smyth et al, 2006) and avoidance in specific phobias (Dymond, Schlund, Roche & Whelan, 2014); modelled the contribution of AARR to ironic effects such as thought suppression (e.g. Hooper, Stewart, Duffy, Freegard, & McHugh, 2012); and compared direct and derived extinction as processes that can contribute to psychotherapeutic effects (Roche et al, 2008).…”

The current paper introduces relational frame theory (RFT) as a functional contextual approach to complex human behaviour and examines how this theory has contributed to our understanding of several key phenomena in psychological science. I will first briefly outline the philosophical foundation of RFT and then examine its conceptual basis and core concepts. Thereafter, I provide an overview of the empirical findings and applications that RFT has stimulated in a number of key domains such as language development, linguistic generativity, rule-following, analogical reasoning, intelligence, theory of mind, psychopathology and implicit cognition.

“…This possibility needs to be further examined in future studies, since our adherence rating scale did not take into account those counselor behaviors. Second, although not part of our initial hypothesis, a possible interpretation is that activation techniques are more likely to succeed when awareness and openness skills have already been established, since those skills could be helping individuals to cope effectively with the discomfort of being put in contact with their own personal values and the discrepancy between their values and actions; a process suggested by recent Relational Frame Theory research (Hooper, Stewart, Duffy, Freegard, & McHugh, 2012). Finally, while there is an increasing number of ACT studies examining the important role of activation in individual’s functioning (e.g., Chase et al, 2013; Kashdan & McKnight, 2013), there is still a small number addressing the role of values and commitment as compared to other ACT processes (Levin, Hildebrandt, Lillis, & Hayes, 2012).…”

No studies to date have examined the effect of counselor techniques on smoking cessation over the course of treatment. To address this gap, we examined the degree to which the use of specific Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) counseling techniques in a given session predicted smoking cessation reported at the next session. The data came from the ACT arm of a randomized controlled trial of a telephone-delivered smoking cessation intervention. Trained raters coded 139 counseling sessions across 44 participants. The openness, awareness and activation components of the ACT model were rated for each telephone counseling session. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to estimate the predictive relationship between each component during any given telephone session and smoking cessation at the following telephone session. For every 1-unit increase in counselors’ use of openness and awareness techniques there were 42% and 52% decreases in the odds of smoking at the next counseling session, respectively. However, there was no significant predictive relationship between counselors’ use of activation techniques and smoking cessation. Overall, results highlight the theoretical and clinical value of examining therapists’ techniques as predictors of outcome during the course of treatment.

“…The stronger the urge to suppress a thought, the more frequently the thought occurs. Therefore, proper training in mindfulness and mental discipline may be beneficial as part of mentor and coach training (Hooper, Stewart, Duffy, Freegard, & McHugh, 2012;Wegner, 2011). Techniques to train the mind and to recondition mentor or coach attitudes and perceptions that support mental and emotional discipline are likely to be invaluable tools to achieve a more complete understanding of the potential cognitive and physical impact of mentor-mentee and coachcoachee interactions.…”

Abstract. Collaborative problem solving, creativity, innovation, and continuously improved performance outcomes are the normative expectations for organizations in the early 21st century. At the same time, workers seek not only equitable compensation for their efforts, but also opportunities for professional growth and development as well as acknowledgement and valuing of their contributions. As a result, more than ever, leaders face the challenge of creating learning organizations, communities of practice, and systems that promote the full potential of each worker, while attaining or exceeding organizational expectations and goals. An integrated, holistic model of mentoring and coaching consisting of four well researched theoretical frames is described: strengths based leadership, Emotional Intelligence, courageous conversations, and Appreciative Inquiry. The rarely acknowledged, imperceptible, but significant and indelible, neurological and biochemical links that connect the theoretical frames as well as the impact of self-efficacy beliefs and the thoughts and emotions of both mentor/coach and mentee/coachees are discussed. Recommendations for practice and implementation are presented.
