Relational Frame Theory (RFT) provides a theory of language rooted in the Radical Behavioral tradition of B. F. Skinner after recognizing and addressing the problems with the theories Skinner advanced in the book Verbal Behavior. Rather than "represent things," words are viewed as cues for the important behavior of relating. The basic approach of RFT will be outlined and the implications for "spiritual development" will be discussed.
