Mastering the Clinical Conversation: Language as Intervention is a practical and insightful guide for therapists who want to use language more intentionally and effectively in their clinical work. Grounded in contextual behavioral science and Relational Frame Theory (RFT), the book explores how the words we use — and how we use them — can function as powerful tools for change.

The authors provide step-by-step guidance on how to shape therapeutic conversations that foster openness, psychological flexibility, and meaningful action. Through real-life examples, sample dialogues, and practical strategies, clinicians learn how to turn everyday interactions into interventions that support lasting growth.

Accessible yet grounded in cutting-edge science, Mastering the Clinical Conversation is an essential resource for therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals who want to deepen their impact through the artful and purposeful use of language.

Evolutionary Psychology and Terrorism, edited by Max Taylor, is a thought-provoking and interdisciplinary exploration of how evolutionary principles can help us understand the roots of terrorism and extremist behavior. Bringing together experts from psychology, behavioral science, and security studies, the book examines how deep-seated human traits — such as group loyalty, fear responses, aggression, and the drive for significance — may contribute to the development and persistence of terrorist ideologies and actions.

Rather than viewing terrorism solely through political or ideological lenses, this volume encourages readers to consider how evolved psychological mechanisms, shaped over millennia, interact with modern social and cultural environments to produce extreme behavior. The book also discusses the implications of this perspective for counterterrorism strategies and prevention.

Evolutionary Psychology and Terrorism offers a fresh and challenging framework for understanding one of the most pressing issues of our time — making it essential reading for researchers, policymakers, psychologists, and anyone interested in the human side of global conflict.

Evolution and Contextual Behavioral Science is a groundbreaking volume that brings together leading thinkers in psychology, evolutionary theory, and behavioral science to propose a unified framework for understanding human behavior. Edited by Steven C. Hayes, David Sloan Wilson, and others, the book bridges the gap between contextual behavioral science (CBS) — including approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — and the principles of evolutionary science.

The contributors explore how evolutionary processes shape not just biology, but also learning, culture, language, and psychological flexibility. Through theoretical insights and practical applications, the book highlights how an integrated, evolution-informed approach can help address real-world challenges such as mental health, cooperation, social change, and well-being.

Evolution and Contextual Behavioral Science is essential reading for psychologists, researchers, clinicians, and anyone interested in a deeper, scientifically grounded understanding of how human behavior emerges, adapts, and can be transformed.

Prosocial: Using Evolutionary Science to Build Productive, Equitable, and Collaborative Groups is a groundbreaking and practical guide that combines cutting-edge evolutionary theory, behavioral science, and group dynamics to help teams and organizations work better together. Drawing on Elinor Ostrom’s core design principles for managing common resources, along with tools from contextual behavioral science (including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), the authors present a powerful framework for building cooperation, psychological flexibility, and shared purpose.

Through real-world examples and actionable tools, the book shows how diverse groups — from workplaces and nonprofits to schools and communities — can become more effective, inclusive, and resilient. The Prosocial approachemphasizes values, trust, empowerment, and adaptability, offering a scientifically grounded path toward sustainable collaboration.

Whether you’re a team leader, facilitator, organizational consultant, or community builder, Prosocial provides essential insights and methods for fostering groups that thrive — together.
