The ACT in Process lecture series explores a pragmatic application of RFT (Relational Frame Theory) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Theory) in building psychological flexibility and well-being. Each of the core processes in the model is examined and reviewed through the lens of enhancing and maintaining psychological flexibility. The benefits and advantages of a tolerant, flexible mind are applied in the domains of personal well-being, clinical and work settings, and with the greater community. Practical strategies to advance psychological flexibility are reviewed. Generalizability of the model – as well as limitations – are explored to improve the ever-evolving therapeutic model.

The New School’s Bachelor's Program for Adults and Transfer Students reflects the goal of lifelong higher learning articulated by the founders of The New School in 1919. In 1943, The New School began offering a bachelor's degree program for adults to address the educational needs of returning WWII veterans. Today, we continue to dedicate ourselves to that mission in a program that offers exceptional services and an innovative curriculum to nearly 1,000 adult students in New York City and online.
Committed to amplifying diverse voices, The New School offers more than a thousand public programs and events each year, providing fresh perspectives and unique learning opportunities. These lectures, exhibitions, concerts, and performances feature prominent and emerging artists, activists, and thought leaders.
