Title: Using recent developments in Relational Frame Theory to increase its utility in applied behaviour analyses of human language and cognition

Relational frame theory (RFT) is a behaviour-analytic account of human language and cognition which in recent years has experienced a period of intense conceptual and empirical research. The overarching aim of the current workshop is to summarise these recent developments in RFT and how they could translate into potential advances in applied behaviour analyses, particularly in understanding and treating language and cognitive deficits. The workshop will be built around a new RFT framework for conceptualising many of the key ‘behavioural units’ of human verbal behaviour. At the end of the workshop attendees should be in a position to utilise this new framework in their own applied environments.
