by Steven C. Hayes, PhD, author of Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life
The ninth Association for Contextual Behavioral Science World Conference (WC IX) was held in Parma, Italy, July 11 through 15. Organized by ACT-Italia, the Italian chapter of ACBS, it was the largest (596 registrants) and most diverse world conference ever—22 countries had nine or more registrants.
For those who attended, this conference had a tangible sense of a more matured and developed community—intellectually, socially, and practically. Many new datasets were shared, but there was a shift away from anxious questions such as, "Is ACT / RFT empirically supported?" toward more self-confident ones such as, "How can we advance this work?" or, "What are we missing?"

It's time to get the word out about Charlie Sheen and mania. He is in a manic episode. It's 100% certain. I know because I have been there as have the tens of thousands of people who come to my blog every month. Mania has very distinct symptoms that are not matched in any other illness, nor are they similar to what a person says when they are drunk or on drugs. This is an important distinction.
To show that this is bipolar disorder and why Charlie Sheen needs to get help, I have created a list of manic symptoms along with his quotes. This can be a reference for the media that continues to exploit him instead of recognizing a very obvious illness. When reading through this, note that it's impossible for a 'normal' brain to come up with these quotes. This is 100% mania.
As you may have noticed, we have made a lot of changes to our website over the past few months. One of the features on the bookstore page is an editor's pick. They name a book that they like and share why they enjoy it.
