Relational frame theory provides a systemic understanding of human functioning and provides the theoretical basis for acceptance and commitment therapy. With strong links to mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy provides a useful way to connect to our own and to others' emotional and relational needs. In the brief theory parts of the session we will look at the basics of the theory and the therapy. In the experiential parts, we will consider our own and an organisation's needs and resources via an evaluation and monitoring instrument provided.
Please note the session aims to develop a work in progress and suggestions for further development and application will be welcome.
