This research project explores the obstacles, successful strategies, and perspectives related to disseminating Contextual Behavioral Science (CBS) in 11 countries across different continents. The study involves conducting interviews with psychologists who disseminate CBS, analyzing the data using thematic analysis, and identifying key strategies such as public events, academic integration, research, workshops, and translations to promote the dissemination of CBS.

2. Introduction My Independent Study aims to contribute to the research project Processes of Disseminating CBS in Low-and-Middle Income Countries by identifying obstacles, and successful strategies perspectives related to the dissemination of CBS in 11 countries. the main from strategies, interviewees The original research team is integrated by four members of The ACBS Developing Nations Committee: Claudette Foley, Cheryl Malek, Viliyana Maleva, and Suzy Adel. The supervisor of this Independent Study is Professor Felix Diaz.

3. Overview What is CBS? Methodology 01 02 04Conclusion 03 Results

4. 01 What is CBS?

5. Contextual Behavioral Science (CBS) A multi-level system of philosophical assumptions, scientific values, and methodological commitments Evidence based Psychological therapies: ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) RFT (Relational Frame Theory)

6. 02 Methodology

7. Methods Thematic Analysis addressing key questions Interviews Researchers conducted 16 interviews with psychologists who disseminate CBS in their contexts Coding in MaxQDA MaxQDA is a qualitative research tool. Transcription of the Interviews Filippos Kinigopoulos (3) and me (13) 16 hours 100,500 words

8. Interviewees from 11 countries Europe Romania Poland Cyprus Asia Malaysia India South America Colombia Peru Brazil Africa South Africa Sierra-Leone Uganda

9. 03 Results

10. The main strategies for the dissemination of CBS Public Events Universities Dissemination through the academic route as integrating CBS into the course curriculum and giving lectures Research Conducting research related to CBS and its use in different spheres of life 16/16 15/16 Workshops, conferences, public lectures, training, courses, etc. Translation and production of materials 11/16 11/16 Members of chapters write and translate different materials such as books, manuals, guides in their native language.

11. Other strategies for the dissemination of CBS 8/16 8/16 Clinical and Private Practice Internet Dissemination of CBS through websites and social platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram Psychologists use approaches under the CBS umbrella with their patients in private and clinical practice. For example, ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy)

12. The main obstacles to CBS dissemination Financial support CBS Chapters are NGOs, so they do not enough funds to organize events, invite trainers, and deal with legal documents 1 3 Regulations 10/16 8/16 There are unique rules and regulations that a chapter need to follow to operate. Sometimes those rules oppose the rules of a country Cultural and Language barriers 4 2 Certification 8/16 8/16 Cultural interpersonal differences, no ACT/CBS vocabulary in other languages rather than English or it is not developed There are official rules regarding obtaining the certification (sometimes too strict, sometimes not strict enough)

13. Running a website with free resources in a developed country is a huge step in having people access that information. In a developing country running a website with free resources may not necessarily result into uptake. Khamisi Musanje, Uganda

14. But in Malaysia it [CBS] can't grow organically because of all the certification process and it's too expensive and all that kind of stuff. So if we have too much of that [certification] it's just going to inhibit growth. Wendy Shoesmith, Malaysia

15. What Works? Networking 10/16

16. Other factors that impact successful dissemination of CBS Having high quality credible trainers 1 3 4/16 3/16 Being Patient Being sensitive to context (culture) Being passionate about ACT and CBS 2 4 6/16 3/16

17. 04 Conclusion

18. Conclusion The results suggest that context sensitivity and appropriateness are vital factors in the successful dissemination of CBS. Overall, this study provides some valuable insights into the dissemination of CBS in LMIC countries and can be used to suggest potential strategies for CBS dissemination in other LMIC countries. Further research is needed to explore these findings in other countries and among a larger sample of participants.
