This episode is primarily relevant to professionals.

In this episode, R. Trent Codd, III, Ed.S. interviews Rob Zettle, PhD about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in the treatment of depression. Some of the topics they discuss include:

  • His early work with Steve Hayes and the initial development of ACT and RFT
  • The comparative trials of CT vs. ACT in the treatment of depression
  • The ACT approach to depression as well as current directions in this area
  • And much more!

ROB ZETTLE, PHD BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Zettle received his PhD in Clinical Psychology from UNC-Greensboro in 1984 and has been a Professor of Psychology at Wichita State University since 1984 . Dr. Zettle was the first doctoral student of Steven C. Hayes, PhD.  Dr. Zettle's dissertation (supervised by Hayes) was the first RCT involving what is now known as ACT in comparing it to Beck's cognitive therapy in treatment of depression. Since that time, Drs. Zettle and Hayes have published several papers together.  Prior to Dr. Zettle's training at UNC-G, he earned his BA in Psychology from Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, PA (1974), and his MA in Psychology from Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA (1976). Since arriving at WSU, Dr. Zettle has continued clinical research into both cognitive therapy and ACT for the treatment of depression. He has also been active in conducting analogue research involving processes that contribute to psychological flexibility/inflexibility which culminated in his 2007 book on ACT for Depression published by New Harbinger.
