This conceptualization provides a partial behavioral account of the variability across individuals with respect to reinforcer potency and why some are behaviors appear to be refractory to change or therapeutic intervention. The practical ramifications of our approach to personality are exemplified in a clinical case example and discussion of acceptance-based couple,s therapy"
