Kelly G. Wilson, Ph.D.
Visit my academic website too! Welcome to One Life Education & Training. The purpose of the training company is to provide consultation and education in emerging behavioral treatment and training technologies. Among our current services are research consulting, workshops, in-service training, individual training, consultation on the development of staff training, and treatment protocol development. Kelly G. Wilson, Ph.D. is the primary provider of these services. Dr. Wilson is on the faculty of the Psychology Department at the University of Mississippi. he is co-author of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: An Experiential Approach to Behavior Change, Terapia de Aceptión y Compromiso: Un Tratamiento Conductual Centrado en los Valores, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Chronic Pain, as well as over 55 articles and chapters on related basic and applied issues. His work includes the investigation of acceptance, mindfulness, and values-oriented strategies in the treatment of a variety of problems in living as well as in the basic behavioral science underlying therapeutic change. A complete listing of publications and other academic activities can be found in Dr. Wilson's vita on his academic website.
The WorkMost of our training and treatment development activities center around Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and its application in a variety of settings and with a variety of populations. However, we also provide general clinical training as well as more general training in behavior analysis. ACT is part of a movement in psychological science that sees acceptance as an important addition to change-oriented treatment strategies. An emerging body of evidence suggests that acceptance and openness to experience can have both physical and psychological benefits. The paradox upon which ACT is founded is that radical acceptance of what cannot be changed empowers us to recognize and change the things that can. ACT teaches us to embrace necessary suffering in order to increase our ability to engage in committed, life-affirming action. ACT does not allow a neat division between people doing treatment and people needing treatment. It is hard to get what is important about ACT without confronting the fact that in a very deep sense, we are all in the same boat. This means that the principles are scalable. ACT addresses obstacles to effective living that transcend diagnostic categories and even the notions of "sick" and "well." ACT attempts to address very fundamental issues that affect us all. There are a wide variety of resources for training and education in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and underlying theoretical work in relational stimulus control, Relational Frame Theory. Many of these resources are freely available at the ContextualPsychology.org website. You will also find information on the ACT and RFT listserves. These listserves offer a broad community for discussion of issues relevant to ACT and RFT. Visit the ACT and RFT Discussion Group link to find out about these online discussion groups and to sign up. You will find fellow travelers, some of whom have gone over the ground you are traveling. You will find that, as a community, they are remarkably willing to share the fruits of their efforts. You will find free printed material, including treatment protocols, theoretical, philosophical, and research articles available at these websites. You can also find a training page there where other trainings and trainers are listed. We encourage you to critically examine the empirical, theoretical and philosophical bases of this work. If you find something of value there, take advantage of low and no cost methods of learning. If there are additional services that we can provide, please contact us.
