Sara,
I believe that when we are not doing FAP, we should do EST. And before you
know, you'll catch yourself doing FAP simultaneously. After a few years of
FAP, it becomes hard to do exposure treatment with phobias or cognitive
restructuring without noticing the CRBs flying all around you. We can think
that in many cases ESTs are eficient, not necessarily because of the
theories that are traditionally attached to them, but because they make the
therapist-client relationship very intense - think of the emotions and
interpersonal strategies you evoke when you guide a client through an
exposure treatment - and therefore, they are littered with in-vivo-learning
oportunities for the client. So, my answer: when I don't see room for FAP at
the start of therapy, I do EST.

Assunto: [functionalanalyticpsychotherapy] how do you FAP?


Hi all-

I recently started seeing a new client with interpersonal problems and
my goal is to do "just FAP." Jonathan and I have been discussing
during supervision the question of what to do when I'm not
actually "doing" FAP and bringing the problems in-vivo. One idea is
that I should just be a good behavior therapist and do things such as
a functional/behavioral/chain analysis on daily life problems to find
a place to intervene. I would really like to know what everyone else
does in session when they are not doing in-vivo work...

So tell me... how do you FAP? :)
