Riassunto

Now in paperback, this classic book offers a powerful framework for clinicians seeking to rethink their approach to the therapeutic relationship. It begins with the theory behind Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), explaining why clients’ unique needs may extend beyond well-mapped routes to change. From there, the authors present the clinical principles of FAP and their uses in treating diffuse, resistant problems.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

"This book describes how radical behaviorism can be used to create therapeutic relationships in order for meaningful change to occur. ... The audience includes therapists ‘interested in revitalizing practice, minimizing impasses, and treating clients on a deeper emotional level.’ ... graduate students will also find this book valuable. ... is excellent in the way it combines two theories and shows specifically how to apply them in clinical work. ... it is full of valuable information." (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2008)
