This week I want to continue our series on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We have spent several weeks beginning to look at mindfulness and now I want to connect it to applied behavior analysis and what we can do to help people use mindfulness to help change behavior towards a desired outcome. Last week I brought up several new concepts. Some of these ideas were psychological flexibility, functional contextualism and cognitive defusion as a few new concepts. Today I’d like to define psychological flexibility and hopefully get into functional contextualism also.
