[Workshop] Functional Analytic Psychotherapy: Creating Intense and Curative Therapeutic Relationships

This workshop is for mental health professionals who want to Increase  the emotional intensity, interpersonal focus and impact of their  clinical work. Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) uses functional  analysis to create deep, meaningful and healing therapeutic  relationships. By  focusing on the subtle ways clients' daily life  problems occur in the context of therapy and by augmenting the therapist  repertoires identified as awareness, courage and love (behaviorally  defined) in responding contingently to emotional and interpersonal  target behaviors, clients are helped to resolve presenting symptoms and  to delve into their purpose and passion for living. FAP calls for  therapeutic stances and techniques that no single orientation would  predict, and provides a conceptual and practical framework that  concretely builds skills to help practitioners reach their highest  aspirations.
