Hayes (born 1948) is a clinical psychologist and Nevada Foundation Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno Department of Psychology, where he runs the leading Ph.D program in Behavior Analysis, and coined the term Clinical Behavior Analysis. He is known for devising a behavior analysis of human language and cognition called Relational Frame Theory, and its clinical application to various psychological difficulties, such as anxiety. Hayes also developed a widely-used and evidence-based procedure often used in counseling called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which relies heavily on counterconditioning techniques, such as mindfulness (a private behavior).
