Course Description:

This workshop introduces Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), a third-wave therapeutic approach that brings functional analysis into the therapeutic relationship. FAP’s proposed mechanism of action is using genuine therapist responses to contingently respond to problematic client behavior as it occurs in session. Training in FAP helps clinicians identify functional classes of behaviors as treatment targets, maximize the benefits of the therapeutic alliance, and use their own reactions to client behaviors to build a powerful connection with their clients (Kohlenberg & Tsai, 1991). While FAP is an effective therapeutic modality on its own, practitioners can also integrate its lessons into other modalities.

Over the course of this workshop, we will work with participants to assess psychological problems using the FAP model. Participants will learn how to identify clinically relevant behaviors, enhance rapport through a process of reciprocal exchanges of vulnerability and responsiveness, and evoke and reinforce more adaptive behaviors in session through interpersonal reinforcers such as empathy, statements of caring, and self-disclosure. We will use experiential exercises, small group work, and dyad work to encourage participants to practice and enhance new skills.

Audience:

This workshop is intended for mental health professionals (psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, etc.) at all levels of expertise and working with any population in any treatment setting, particularly practitioners interested in in-session functional analysis and interpersonal approaches to psychotherapy.
