Thank you JoAnne. Please do reply to the FAP list as others will definitely be
interested too.

Some questions that come up for me in connection with FAP training (for
graduate students and other clinicians) is, Who can be effectively trained?
and, How can training be most effective? I ask these questions in light of the
view held by some that only experienced therapists are skilled enough to use
their personal, emotional, in-session responses for the client's benefit.
McCullough voices this opinion strongly in his book on Cognitive Behavior
Analytic System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), a treatment for chronically depressed
patients that leans heavily on the use of the therapeutic relationship to shape
interpersonal behavior. A research question could be, Can graduate students be
trained to do FAP effectively? etc...
