Hayes has been banging this drum about idionomic analyses for 6+ years, with folk like @jamiecummins.bsky.social pointing out that its reinventing-the-wheel-but-worse for just as long. My experience is that the ACT community is insufficiently interested and aware of existing methods+stats work.

🔔 Call for Papers 🔔 I’m guest editing a Special Issue of Cognitive & Behavioral Practice Cognitive-Behavioral Approaches in Context www.sciencedirect.com/special-issue…
As sociopolitical crises of the past
 decade have made increasingly salient,
 cognitive-behavioral frameworks that
 are well-suited to treating pathology
 located within the individual are not
 always well-suited to support work
 with clients whose distress is
 proportionate to the real
 environmental challenges they
 experience. This Special Issue of
 Cognitive & Behavioral Practice focuses
 on the concept of "environmental
 pathology," which we use here to refer
 to social, cultural, political, and/or
 environmental circumstances within
 which significant distress or
 impairment are normative and
 proportionate responses. Examples
 include chronic exposure to
 discrimination such as racism,
 misogyny, or transphobia; realistic
 medical health risks such as
 pandemics; insufficient access to
 healthcare, food, or housing; military
 violence; or realistic threat orWe are especially interested in
 manuscripts that describe the
 principled extension of evidence-based
 cognitive-behavioral principles to work
 with clients whose clinically significant
 distress or impairment could be
 reasonably described as healthy,
 normal, or appropriate to their meso-
 or macro-systemic context. We also
 welcome articles focused on
 community-level interventions
 designed to prevent or reduce
 contextual barriers to mental health
 and wellbeing. C&BP is a practitioner-
 oriented journal that publishes
 narrative and systematic reviews,
 research reports that include rich
 clinical descriptions, case series and
 studies, clinical commentaries, and
 treatment development reports. As
 such, articles should emphasize
 material likely to be informative to
 clinical practice and supervision, such
 as detailed case descriptions, excerpts
 from psychotherapy transcripts, andExample topics include:
 1. Ethical obligations, dilemmas, and responsibilities to consider when navigating
 environmental pathology in clinical practice
 2. Theoretical frameworks or suggested best practices for leveraging evidence-based
 principles in the context of environmental pathology, particularly for concerns or
 contexts that are not adequately addressed within the existing empirical
 literature.
 3. Global perspectives, such as considerations when translating evidence-based
 practices between cultures and/or working with displaced clients or refugees.
 4. Empirical studies, meta-analyses, or intensive case series designs investigating
 the efficacy of novel or established interventions for clients presenting with
 distress or impairment associated with one or more forms of environmental
 pathology
 5. Primers, introductory papers, or case studies offering cognitive-behavioral
 translations of practices from diverse theoretical orientations, cultures, or
 epistemologies, supported by an appropriately critical review of relevant
 literatures
 6. Case studies, theoretical frameworks, or literature reviews evaluating diverse
 practices for navigating discussions of politically-charged or taboo topics in
 assessment, therapy, or clinical research
 7. Strengths-based approaches, including empirical studies or literature reviews on
 topics such as resilience, critical consciousness, neurodiversity, or post-traumatic

I have managed to abstract the template for replies to critiques.
A reply to critique

In this reply to the recent critique of our article, we: mischaracterize the critique; mischaracterize our own original claims; respond only to the peripheral arguments while remaining silent about the critique’s most devastating points; claim that the issues raised do not affect our core conclusions, regardless of whether this is the case or not; radically change the implied generality of our original claims; commit ad hominem while accusing others of it; and leverage the fact that we are likely to have the last word to generally muddy the waters.
