Pieter's blogpost about "Why We Act Against Our Values and How to Change", published on Psychology Today, has been positioned as an Essential Read! www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/spon...

Why We Act Against Our Values and How to Change

You know better, yet you stay stuck in old patterns. Maybe the real issue isn’t willpower, but your mind’s predictions about who you are.

Very grateful for the opportunity to present our research at the Social Cognition Workshop as a blitz talk (and a poster)! Thank you for the interesting questions and discussions. I’m already looking forward to next year’s edition! 😄

In the background, a projected slide is visible with the title: 'Relating oneself to others in time and space: A Relational Frame Theory account of perspective-taking and Theory of Mind.'

The Prison of the Future: A Humane, Evidence-Based Approach

Prisons often punish rather than rehabilitate, worsening issues for inmates and society. Evidence-based reforms focus on reintegration and skill-building for lasting change.
