been translated into Japanese and will soon be published (it's possible that it
will be available in time for ABA but definitely by this summer). This
formidable undertaking was accomplished by Associate Professor Hiroto Okouchi
from Osaka Kyoiku University and colleagues. We have had the pleasure of
corresponding with Dr. Okouchi and Bob has met him in person. His motivation for
introducing FAP to Japan springs from a history that may resonate with many on
this list. Dr. Okouchi was trained as a cognitive behavior therapist and
concomitantly was very enamored with the theory, laboratory findings and
philosophy of radical behaviorism. He also has done behavior analytic laboratory
research. He saw the potential that radical behaviorism has for providing a
more complete account of how psychotherapy can produce significant and marked
life changes in clients that go far beyond the alleviation of specific symptoms
such as depression or anxiety. We are looking forward to further collaboration
between members of our FAP community and our Japanese colleagues.
