ABSTRACT
The present volume is focused on the work on a single individual, which distorts somewhat the nature of CBS and its components. CBS is a community (and not a small one-as of this writing ACBS has just under 7,500 members worldwide). The community itself is designed to be consistent in its internal operations with the principles of the methods and models the tradition itself has produced: open, accepting, and values based. There are many areas of work in CBS that are not touched on significantly in these 14 articles: implicit cognition, data on educational or other applications of RFT, recent innovations in ACT and its extension to new domains such as health promotion or group effectiveness, the rapidly growing linkage between evolution science and ACT and RFT, the inclusion of applied methods other than ACT or RFT in CBS writ large, and so on.
