Functional Analytic Psychotherapy
Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) is a therapeutic model that focuses on shaping adaptive interpersonal behaviors in the moment of the therapy interaction. FAP is dedicated to “establishing intense and curative relationships” achieved through authenticity (Kohlenberg & Tsai, 1991). FAP, at its heart, is an interpersonal behavior therapy in which the therapist- client relationship is the agent of change. The therapist responds skillfully to in-the-moment, clinically relevant behaviors (CRB), to evoke and reinforce more adaptive behaviors that help the client build a more effective behavioral repertoire. FAP increases the client’s awareness of moves away from valued living and creates opportunities for immediate practice of courageous behavior - all in the context of a caring relationship. While FAP is an effective therapeutic modality on its own, it can also be integrated with other therapeutic approaches.
