Functional analytical psychotherapy. Kholman G., Kant J.U.

Clinical psychologists are known that for the happiness and well -being of customers, strong and meaningful relationships are needed. In addition, empathy between the client and the psychologist can have a huge impact on the results of treatment. Functional analytical psychotherapy (FAP) originates from the contextual behavioral model of the “third wave” and focuses on therapeutic relations as the main mechanism that contributes to the recovery and transformation of the client. In this simple manual, everything that is necessary for the implementation of this effective approach during the session is presented. In the book, the reader proposes the introduction to the conceptual foundations and clinical practice of FAP with an emphasis on practical clinical scenarios. It describes how to balance the authenticity with the conceptualization of the case in order to make their therapeutic relations more compassionate, flexible and effective. The book proposes various methods for improving therapeutic relations that allow customers to improve the quality of life. In the book: • Theoretical foundations of FAP. • Methods of applying functional analysis to therapeutic relations. • Methods of combating the ineffective behavior of the client during therapy. • Ways to overcome the difficulties of the therapeutic process and complete treatment with the best results.
