Description

The codeveloper of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and of Process-Based Therapy, Steven C. Hayes has authored nearly 50 books, including a #1 bestselling self-help book, Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life as well as A Liberated Mind: How to Pivot Toward What Matters. He’s also a popular speaker, whose Ted Talks and blogs have nearly three million views. A former president of multiple psychology and behavioral science associations, he’s among the most cited psychologists in the world, and his many professional honors include a Lifetime Achievement Award from ABCT.


Now, according to Hayes, behavioral science has failed practitioners. For nearly 150 years, the public conversation about mental and behavioral health has been dominated by concepts of what’s “normative.” Therapists are forced to learn lists of signs and symptoms of what supposedly determines wellness and illness, and of supposed latent diseases, which ultimately never turn out to be actual diseases. In the end, this data tells them little to nothing about the trajectories of the lives in front of them. The field indulges this way of working, which is then reified in our culture whenever we publicly discuss psychiatric disorders, personality, intelligence, and psychometric assessment.


In this recording, Hayes will show why this approach is a scientific lie—a “forever failure” that’s provably false. He’ll explain the shocking truth about how and why this has happened—and what can be done about it. And he’ll introduce a new, “idionomic” approach to diagnosis and case-conceptualization that can redefine evidence-based therapy to be far more relevant to the actual world of clinical practice—and fairer to the people we hope to serve.

Steven C. Hayes, PhD's Profile

Steven C. Hayes, PhD Related seminars and products


Dr. Steven C. Hayes is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno, and president of the Institute for Better Health, a 45-year-old charitable organization dedicated to better mental and behavioral health.

His work has been focused on developing a new behavioral science approach called Contextual Behavioral Science. He originated its underlying philosophical of science (Functional Contextualism), its basic science of human higher cognition (Relational Frame Theory or “RFT”), its application to individual psychological change (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Training, “ACT” in either case), and co-developed its application to the development of more cooperative groups (Prosocial). He has helped develop a model of human suffering and human prosperity (the Psychological Flexibility Model), a new method of analyzing processes of change (idionomic analysis), a new vision of what evidence-based intervention should be (Process-Based Therapy), and he has extended multidimensional and multilevel evolutionary thinking to human problems of all kinds.

His work has been celebrated with several awards, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and the Impact of Science on Application Award from the Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis.

With 47 books and nearly 700 scientific articles published, Dr. Hayes is one of the most cited psychologists in the world as he continues to innovate in the field of psychology.
