I'd like to reiterate what Gareth has already said. First, I like the design of the study you have in mind. The usual outcome variables should be used-- BDI, SCL-90, etc. I also suggest using interpersonal outcomes as well-- social support, relationship satisfaction, improvements in interpersonal relationship problems. We have used a number of these. Then- the process variables- the CRIVI and THISS that we have used. Glenn's approach is among the most promising. Jonathan Kanter's analysis of relationship improvements that are related to sessions in which FAP occurs is also intriguing (do I have this right Jonathan?). An interesting finding in our FECT study was that social avoidance was decreased-- this fits well with ACT goals. Let us know if you want more information on any of these.

Thanks for your message. We've recently had a couple of posts - from
Jonathan Kanter at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, and Glenn
Callaghan at San Jose State University - that discuss some ongoing and
devloping FAP research. I will forward them on to you. Also, if you
haven't already, check out the references page at
www.functionalanalyticpsyschotherapy.com
Coding therapist and client behavior is a big concern of ours, and we
have developed a few different methods. The emails from Jonathan and Glenn
discuss a couple - and should also convey that this research is very open
for development. We also have a couple of instruments
that code therapist turns at speech according to whether or how they are
FAP-adherent. The more complex of the two is described briefly in
Kohlenberg, Kanter et al 2002. The simple one codes turns according to
whether they engage the therapeutic relationship or therapeutic process in
an idiographic way or not (e.g. a fap intervention vs. a normal CT
intervention).
In the past, we have mainly been concerned with how FAP processes as
independent variables contribute to outcomes as dependent variables.
Though the small FAP open trial (see the ref above) also addressed
whether FAP training as IV might increase FAP processes as DV.
I hope this helps. I personally would be very interested in research
about FAP clinical training, since I am a beginning graduate student
myself. I'd like to hear more about what you're thinking - and I'd be
happy to try to answer any other questions you might have.
