Module One: 5 Sessions
ACT Therapy Training 1
with Dr John Boorman
In this session, Dr John Boorman discusses how ACT sits within a wider organisational structure termed Contextual Behavioural Science (CBS). The importance of understanding context is not new in behavioural sciences. Behaviour is not dependent on anything else, it can only be influenced by the contexts with which it operates, whether these are biological, environmental, internal to the person etc.
Dr Boorman illustrates how the goal of helping others predict and influence their lives centres around context. He provides examples of how context can greatly shape/influence behaviour and highlights how successful working is linked directly by the goals and values of the client.
