I encourage anyone curious about contextual behavioural science to become an #ACBS member: the resources at contextualscience.org, the activities of chapters and SIGs, the welcoming community – these are all big pluses.

Personally, there are key decisions in my life that I believe only happened because of #ACT and contextual behavioural science: being open, aware and active has made me a better person to those I love and care about. I am who I am today because of #ACBS.

My favourite #ACBS World Conference to date was the 2011 World Conference in Parma, Italy. All the pleasures of a conference in Italy made for a very social conference: a beautiful city, fantastic food, wine, & perfect summer weather.

ACBS opened the doors of possibility: that others also cared about a progressive form of clinical psychology, that it was worth pursuing a scientific approach, and that striving to do better, guided by values of openness and compassion, well, it mattered.

thank you! ACTp was originally evaluated for people experiencing acute psychosis, so Ax of suitability has been about whether participants could willingly engage while on wards, and not be severely impaired in cognition and functioning. See doi.org/10.1016/j.sc... and doi.org/10.1080/1901...
