In 2001, the first book-length treatment of relational frame theory (RFT) was published. It spawned several reviews and critiques in behavior-analytic journals, including prominent ones by Mark Galizio and David Palmer. Two of the lead authors of the RFT book (Steve Hayes and Dermot Barnes-Holmes) published a response to those critiques. Then, in 2011, Jack Michael, David Palmer, and Mark Sundberg published an article on multiple control, which they assert can account for derived relations and naming. In this focus pack, you will read all of these articles to gain a better understanding of the advanced topics surrounding the analysis of complex human behavior.

This focus pack includes two quizzes based on these articles and a final, integrative quiz that encourages comparison and synthesis.
