Hi Sara
The stand I have taken on this issue is to always do an EST treatment if
there's one available for the problem at hand. Along with presenting the
rationale for the EST and I also present the FAP rationale with the
understanding that FAP may not occur (although it almost always does). An
example is illustrated by the FECT rationale that I believe is on the
website. I know that this approach is not advocated by all, and I believe
Bill Follette feels it should always be done the other way around -- start
with FAP and then add in other treatments. I'm not sure where Mavis is on
this issue but I believe she now generally presents a very evocative
rationale to clients she is now accepting into treatment. I believe that
rationale itself can set the scene for FAP interventions. I believe Glenn's
approach lends itself to a simultaneous application of good and behavior
therapy along FAP.

Subject: 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? :)

Sara
