Functionally Speaking

Brandon Gaudiano has done a great deal of research in contextual behavioral approaches related to clinical work. His website at Brown University is a treasure trove of great publications that you can download, read, and apply. He also has a new book titled Incorporating Mindfulness and Acceptance into the Treatment of Psychosis: Current Trends and Future Directions. It is available on Amazon, and you can get to that bookstore by clicking through the ACBS website. Whether you treat individuals with serious mental illness or not, Brandon discusses important points for anyone applying the ACT model in treatment. Enjoy!

I am very excited to have Tony Biglan on Functionally Speaking. He wrote a fantastic book called The Nurture Effect: How the Science of Human Behavior Can Improve Our Lives & Our World. I highly recommend the book, and you can order it by going to the ACBS Click-Thru page first. Check out his cool website that hosts a neat video about the topic, and even shows endorsements from many scholarly people, including Senator Jeff Merkley. Tony’s answers to my questions are really enlightening, and I think you’ll find this podcast particularly interesting. And, if you like this interview, check out Tony’s interview on Trent Codd’s CBT Radio podcast. I look forward to your feedback.

This edition of Functionally Speaking includes two interviews. They were both done back when I was more involved with this podcast a few years ago, but just because they are old, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t put them out for folks to listen to! Kelly Wilson joins me to talk about his book Mindfulness for Two and then I interview Julie Vargas, B.F. Skinner’s daughter, about her book Behavior Analysis for Effective Teaching. Enjoy!!

It’s the triumphant return of Functionally Speaking! After several years of dormancy, the podcast is back and featuring an interview with Dennis Tirch. He’s an awesome contextual behavioral scientist, compassionate therapist, and passionate mindfulness enthusiast. He and I speak about the book he coauthored with Benji Schoendorff and Laura Silberstein, The ACT Practitioner’s Guide to the Science of Compassion: Tools for Fostering Psychological Flexibility.
