Learn powerful ACT training skills to foster parental collaboration and achieve therapeutic goals.

As a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) working in the field, you understand how essential it is to enlist the support of parents when working with autistic children. This book offers proven-effective acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) training skills to get parents on the same page and working with you to achieve measurable results.

The Behavior Analyst's Guide to Working with Parents offers a comprehensive conceptual framework for using ACT in parent training contexts. With this clinical guide, you will find a brief overview of relational frame theory (RFT), rule governance, and how these core concepts and principles align within the ACT model. The book also provides:

  • Empirical evidence for using ACT within parent training contexts
  • Virtue-based ethics and specific BACB® ethical codes to consider
  • Step-by-step processes for using ACT in parent training contexts
  • Informed consent processes
  • Finally, you'll find an overview of specific ACT components that highlight detailed assessment considerations and metaphor development for each component—such as present moment awareness, acceptance, flexible perspective taking, and values-based action.

    If you're looking for strategies to improve parental collaboration, this book has everything you need to get started.
