Эволюция и контекстуально-поведенческая наука
Эта уникальная книга содержит работы ведущих ученых, совершивших революционное сближение теории эволюции и контекстуально-поведенческой науки. Редакторы книги — лидеры каждой из указанных областей. Предлагаемый авторами интегрированный подход позволяет системно интерпретировать человеческое поведение и открывает возможности для его прогнозирования и изменения. Книга будет полезна психологам, психотерапевтам и всем, интересующимся вопросами психологии и психотерапии.
Теория эволюции и контекстуально-поведенческая наука за последние полвека развивались почти независимо друг от друга. Однако на ранних этапах своего развития эти две теории было тесно переплетены друг с другом. Теория эволюции создает объединяющую научную структуру для биологических дисциплин и все чаще используется в науках о человеке. С другой стороны, контекстуально-поведенческая наука нацелена на изменение человеческого поведения в практическом смысле. Эта революционная книга посвящена объединению теории эволюции и контекстуально-поведенческой науки для реального улучшения жизни людей.
Книга Эволюция и контекстуально-поведенческая наука отражает оригинальную точку зрения на историю теории эволюции и контекстуально-поведенческой науки, демонстрирует их внутреннюю связь, и подчеркивает естественность их объединения, а точнее, воссоединения.
Изучая достижения обеих научных школ, читатели осознают, что сочетание функционального и контекстуального подходов в поведенческих науках и теории эволюции позволяет им быстрее достигать успехов. Помимо выявления логических связей, существующих между теорией эволюции и контекстуально-поведенческой наукой, читатели узнают, как интегрированный подход между этими научными теориями закладывает более надежные основы для понимания, прогнозирования и изменения человеческого поведения.

This book is a dream come true.
Before I knew about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I had been meditating and doing yoga for a good bit, and I had also done a bunch of 12-Step work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I knew there was something powerful and revolutionary at the intersection of mindfulness, recovery and psychotherapy. But I just couldn’t piece it all together, let alone communicate these ideas with precision, scope or depth.
I was introduced to ACT and RFT early in my graduate training and it was love at first sight.
I was utterly captivated.
The authors of ACT had operationalized and integrated the best of Buddhism, behaviorism and humanistic psychology with a little 12-step sprinkled in for good measure.
And they did it in a way that could be clearly communicated and utilized systematically in therapy.
The ACT constructs were a life saver for me. They were validating, they gave me confidence, and they gave me clarity and direction, all of which transformed my life.
I went from anxious, confused, insecure grad student to full time professor and therapist in a relatively short period of time.
But there was a HUGE part of the puzzle for me that was still not integrated.
In addition to being an ACTaholic, I’m a HUGE evolutionary psychology dork.
I used ACT to conceptualize some things and Evo-Psych to conceptualize others. I could make it work on a good day, but other times I found myself in confusing territory.
Most of what I read on the topic argued that these models were incompatible and irreconcilably so.
I honestly didn’t see any conflict at all. But I also couldn’t completely integrate these systems on my own.
I use evo-psych in my clinical practice all the time. It can be very normalizing to frame issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and substance use disorders in evolutionary terms.
I searched the literature for anything pertinent to clinical applications of evolutionary models and couldn’t find anything.
Again. I never saw the conflict between ACT and Evo-Psych. In fact, Skinner dropped evolutionary explanations all the time in his writing.
At some point in the history, circa 1970, maybe before that, there seems to have been a schism between evolutionary science and the social sciences, and the two camps quit working together.
E. O. Wilson was picketed and accused of being a Nazi after he published Sociobiology, and of course there was a bunch of legitimately awful nonsense published under the rubric of evolutionary psychology, and then there was the whole Bell Curve nightmare.
It was a hot mess.
Any way, fast forward to 2018. And seemingly out of nowhere. Steven C. Hayes and David Sloan Wilson drop this book.
It’s SO FUCKING VALIDATING.
I felt like crying.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
So that book happened.
And now everything is like....better.
NEWS FLASH 2001: that conflict between between behaviorism and cognitive theory. No conflict. Its called RFT fuckers!!!!
NEWS FLASH 2018: no conflict between evolutionary science and contextual behaviorism either. Read this book if ya don’t believe me.
Now if we could just iron out the differences between ACT and neuroscience, we’d have it all.
Steven C. Hayes + Robert Sapolsky joint = now I can die in peace.
Just sayin’
NOTE: This book is experimental, and has a lot of authors, spouting a lot of disparate ideas which don’t all find resolution in the text. But I SO DON’T CARE!

A seminal piece of collective works that helps you put together the many pieces of the puzzle to understand the science of human behavior. Really beautifully written.
