General Purpose Books on Contextual Behavioral Science
- Ramnero, J., & Torneke, N. (March 2008). ABCs of human behavior: Behavioral principles for the practicing clinician. Oakland, CA: Context Press / New Harbinger.
It's a basic behavior analysis book for clinicians/ M.D.s/ psychiatrists/ etc. who haven't had training in BA. Goes all the way up to RFT. Nice.
- Woods, D. W., & Kanter, J. W. (Eds.). (2007). Understanding behavior disorders: A contemporary behavioral perspective. Oakland, CA: Context Press/New Harbinger.
This volume presents a contemporary behavioral model of behavior disorders that incorporates the findings of current RFT and ACT research. Rich in possibilities for clinical work, this view of disordered behavior is an important milestone in clinical psychotherapy - an opportunity for behavioral clinicians to reintegrate their clinical practice with an experimental analysis of behavior.
- Biglan, A. (1995). Changing cultural practices: A contextualistic framework for intervention research. Oakland, CA: Context Press/New Harbinger.
This is begins to show how you might scale these issues to the level of cultural practices. If the ACT model is correct, we either alter the prevalence of psychological inflexibility or we fail to help the human condition. You can do that one at a time, or in formal prevention efforts, but either way it is the same bottom line. No change in prevalence = failure. So we need to think about how to measure this and approach this wisely throughout the work we are doing.
- Hayes, S. C., Hayes, L. J., Reese, H. W., & Sarbin, T. R. (Eds.). (1993). Varieties of scientific contextualism. Oakland, CA: Context Press/New Harbinger.
If you get interested in the philosophical foundations of ACT, this will help you understand them.
- Leigland, S. (1992). Radical behaviorism: Willard Day on psychology and philosophy. Oakland, CA: Context Press/New Harbinger.
Puts Skinner's work in context; links history/philosophy and the battles of minds as a background to RFT/ACT.
- Hayes, S. C. (Ed.). (1989/2004). Rule Governed behavior: Cognition, contingencies, and instructional control. New York: Plenum / reprinted in 2004 by Context Press and currently sold by Oakland, CA: Context Press/New Harbinger..
One of the first full-length presentations of the ACT / RFT model is in three chapters in this book on the topic. This book is now available in paperback from Context Press.
