This course is designed to provide an introduction to third generation acceptance-based behavior theory and therapies (ABBTs), broadly writ. The goal is to enhance students’ theoretical, empirical, and practical understanding of ABBTs as it relates to the etiology, maintenance, assessment, and treatment of various forms of psychopathology, and to lay the foundation for the development of basic competencies in various ABBT technologies. Readings and lectures will address a variety of topics, including basic learning, behavioral, cognitive, and biological processes and mechanisms, as well as various assessment and intervention strategies developed within or associated with the applied behavioral tradition.
