Abstract
We sketch the cognitive-behavioral debate and outline the purpose of t he subsequent articles. Together, these articles constitute a symposiu m designed to show how behavior analysts can learn from the work of co gnitivists and cognitive-behavior therapists. This is done by interpre ting some cognitive concepts in terms that are familiar and acceptable to behavior analysts. When behavior analysts can understand these con cepts in their own terms, perhaps they can incorporate them in their l anguage about behavior and their work with clients.
