A comprehensive treatise on how to understand complex language, and
use language effectively as a behavior analyst. Language changes
everything. From infancy through adulthood, language shapes how we
live our lives and interact with other people, in increasingly
complex ways. Language also shapes how we exist in the world as
professionals--and how we operate as a profession. As behavior
analysts working with others to effect change, words matter. A
comprehensive understanding of complex language is therefore
critical to practicing effectively as a behavior analyst.
Understanding the functions of complex language, allows us to
skillfully use language as an intervention tool. Relational frame
theory (RFT) is a behavior analytic theory of human language. RFT
suggests that the building block of human language and higher
cognition is relating--in other words, the human ability to create
links between one thing and another using words. Understanding and
Applying Relational Frame Theory outlines the essential principles
of RFT, and offers practical applications and tools to help clients
live better lives and to establish the conditions necessary for all
of us to thrive. With a central focus on establishing psychological
flexibility, prosociality, and cooperative contexts for change, at
all levels of analysis--from the self to overarching systems and
cultures--in this book, you will: Learn the theoretical basis of
RFT, including how relational operants are learned, from their
roots in early social interactions to the complex relating of
relations and relational networks seen in analogical and
metaphorical reasoning. Explore how complex verbal repertoires
affect individual behavior, introducing the development of the self
and the influence of rule-governed behavior and private events.
Examine relational framing in the context of groups--including the
speaking and listening skills needed for supervision, mentorship,
effective messaging, and prosociality within and between
organizational systems. Discover the implications of applying a
behavior analytic understanding of complex language to a variety of
settings, including education, mental health, and business. Learn
how RFT can be applied to issues of diversity and inclusion, and
global sustainability. Finally, you'll find a thorough discussion
of how behavior analysts can use the principles outlined in this
book to extend the reach of the field into a range of socially
significant and critical areas for behavior change.
