a preliminary test of a social connectedness burnout intervention for mexican mental health professionals
Psychological Record, 2019Co-Authors: Michel Reyes A Ortega, Adam M Kuczynski, Jonathan W. Kanter, Ivan Arango De Montis, María M. SantosAbstract:Job burnout is a condition that interferes significantly with quality of life and is related to stressful working environments, organizational climate, and client outcomes. The introduction of burnout prevention and “Helping the Helper” programs may produce significant benefits with respect to this issue. In this study, we assessed a weekly online “Helping the Helper” intervention based on the behavioral principles of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) to improve social relationships, reduce burnout, and improve organizational climate and quality of life in mental health professionals. Six therapists of the Borderline Personality Disorder Clinic of Mexico’s National Institute of Psychiatry participated in this study. Subjects answered three questionnaires (Maslach Burnout Inventory, Multidimensional Scale of Organizational Climate, and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF) at seven time points throughout the duration of the study. The intervention was implemented between time points three and five. Robust Improvement Rate Difference (R-IRD) scores were computed for each subject to assess for the intervention’s efficacy. Results suggest preliminary support for the possibility of a “Helping the Helper” intervention based on FAP for reducing burnout and improving organizational climate among colleagues in a high-stress, public mental health setting.

reinforcement matters a preliminary laboratory based component process analysis of functional analytic Psychotherapy s model of social connection
Journal of contextual behavioral science, 2015Co-Authors: Kevin Haworth, Mavis Tsai, Adam M Kuczynski, Jonathan W. Kanter, Robert J KohlenbergAbstract:Abstract A therapeutic model of social connection derived from Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) that applies to both the client’s outside-of-therapy relationships and the psychotherapeutic relationship is explored in two studies. The model integrates established behavioral principles with existing research on the reciprocal process of self-disclosure and responsiveness that occurs during development of intimate relationships to highlight a promising therapeutic process. In this process, self-disclosure (“courage” in FAP’s model) is evoked by the therapist and then reinforced with therapeutic responsiveness (“love” in the FAP model) resulting in improved self-disclosure and more connectedness in the therapy and other relationships. Study 1 included a sample of 77 undergraduate participants who self-disclosed responses to a series of closeness generating questions to undergraduate research assistants trained in responsiveness. Findings indicated that social connection increased following this full procedure. Study 2 included a sample of 99 undergraduate participants and provided evidence that the responsiveness of the research assistant is key to promoting increased feelings of connectedness and also improves the depth of disclosure.

A Within-Subjects Evaluation of the Effects of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy on In-Session and Out-of-Session Client Behavior
The Psychological Record, 2015Co-Authors: Natalia Esparza Lizarazo, Amanda M. Muñoz-martínez, María M. Santos, Jonathan W. KanterAbstract:Previous research has shown the effect of the five rules of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) on target behaviors, but has not isolated the effects of FAP’s hypothesized mechanism of contingent responding with reinforcement to in-session behavior (Rule 3) from evoking the behavior (Rule 2). The current study demonstrates the effects of FAP on in-session clinically relevant behaviors (CRBs) and out-of-session client behaviors, or daily life problems (DLPs) in an A/A + B design in which the A phase controlled for evoking CRB (Rule 2) and the A + B phase introduced contingent responding to CRB with reinforcement (Rule 3). Three clients presenting with emotional expression difficulties participated in this study. As per previous research, trained, reliable coders analyzed CRBs by rating session recordings with the FAP Rating Scale (FAPRS), and clients completed self-monitoring templates weekly to track out-of-session behaviors. Results showed FAP-phase-related improvements in CRBs and out-of-session behaviors in two of the three clients, with improvements maintained for one client for whom follow-up data were collected over a brief period. While earlier investigations have not explored the sustainability of behavioral improvements, the present study provides findings that are suggestive of this effect. Some recommendations to improve the reliability and generalization of these outcomes are discussed.

a brief interpersonally oriented mindfulness intervention incorporating functional analytic Psychotherapy s model of awareness courage and love
Journal of contextual behavioral science, 2015Co-Authors: Robert J Kohlenberg, Mavis Tsai, Adam M Kuczynski, Elizabeth Lagbas, Jianne Lo, Jonathan W. KanterAbstract:Abstract A brief, group mindfulness intervention targeting both state mindfulness and social connectedness was developed based on Functional Analytic Psychotherapy׳s model of awareness, courage, and love. A total of 114 college students were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (1) a nature video control, (2) a traditional intrapersonal mindfulness intervention focused on awareness of breath and private stimuli such as bodily sensations, thoughts, and feelings, or (3) an interpersonal mindfulness intervention that emphasized (a) expanding awareness from private internal to external public stimuli associated with the presence of others, (b) a contemplation of common humanity and risks participants could take to improve a specific relationship, and (c) a brief small group interaction involving courageous sharing of these risks. Results indicated significant benefits of all three conditions with respect to state mindfulness with both mindfulness conditions outperforming the nature video, and significant benefits of both mindfulness conditions with respect to social connectedness, with the interpersonal mindfulness condition outperforming the intrapersonal condition. Limitations include no follow-up data to explore the maintenance of gains over time.

translating the theoretical into practical a logical framework of functional analytic Psychotherapy interactions for research training and clinical purposes
Behavior Modification, 2012Co-Authors: Cristal E Weeks, Jonathan W. Kanter, Jordan T Bonow, Sara J Landes, Andrew M BuschAbstract:Functional analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) provides a behavioral analysis of the Psychotherapy relationship that directly applies basic research findings to outpatient Psychotherapy settings. Specifically, FAP suggests that a therapist’s in vivo (i.e., in-session) contingent responding to targeted client behaviors, particularly positive reinforcement of a client’s effective behavior, should be a powerful mechanism of change. However, much of the previous literature on FAP has been theoretical, broadly defining FAP techniques rather than explicating them with the precision necessary for replication and training. In this article, the authors explicate a logical framework for turn-by-turn interactions between the client and therapist that may guide research, training, and dissemination of FAP. This molecular behavioral description of the events of the proposed logical interaction lends itself to microprocess research methodology, and a discussion of potential hypotheses to explore follows. Prescriptive, direct ...

a guide to functional analytic Psychotherapy awareness courage love and behaviorism
2008Co-Authors: Mavis Tsai, Robert J Kohlenberg, Jonathan W. Kanter, William C Follette, Barbara S Kohlenberg, Glenn M CallaghanAbstract:, FAP has developed a strong following among therapists interested in the relational and interpersonal aspects of Psychotherapy and human functioning, yet who are too strongly committed to testable hypotheses and integration with basic science to forego their behavioral roots. FAP is a comprehensive, ground-up approach to behaviorally conceptualizing therapist behavior within sessions to create optimal contingencies for client change and treatment implementation. The uniqueness of FAP lies in the recognition that no specific therapist behavior will serve to heighten intimacy and trust in the therapeutic relationship when provided by therapists that differ by appearance, gender, ethnicity, or temperament; genuine behaviors arise from contingent responses to client behavior, and a mindful awareness of which client behaviors require a response. For this reason, there is a certain difficulty in capturing the sense of a FAP intervention due to the importance of both the functional assessment and the therapist’s use of her own style and self as an instrument of change; for example, a disclosure of a clinically relevant personal loss will vary by therapist (e.g., Tsai et al., 2010), and a reaction that one client perceives as warm or encouraging by one therapist might sound strained or disingenuous coming from a different clinician. Though increasingly labeled a “third wave” behavioral therapy, FAP is fundamentally grounded in the Skinnerian tradition of a strong behavioral assessment (i.e., the titular functional analysis) of the client’s interpersonal repertoire as experienced by the therapist.

a micro process analysis of functional analytic Psychotherapy s mechanism of change
Behavior Therapy, 2009Co-Authors: Andrew M Busch, Jonathan W. Kanter, Glenn M Callaghan, David E Baruch, Cristal E Weeks, Kristoffer S BerlinAbstract:Abstract This study sought to clarify the micro-process of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) by using the Functional Analytic Psychotherapy Rating Scale (FAPRS) to code every client and therapist turn of speech over the course of successful treatment of an individual meeting diagnostic criteria for depression and histrionic personality disorder. Treatment consisted of cognitive behavioral therapy alone followed by the addition of FAP techniques in a unique A / A + B design. In-session client behavior improved following the shift to FAP techniques, and micro-process data suggested that client behavior was effectively shaped by in-vivo FAP procedures. These results support FAP's purported mechanisms of change and highlight the advantages of utilizing molecular coding systems to explore these mechanisms.

The Treatment of Histrionic and Narcissistic Personality Disorder Behaviors: A Single-Subject Demonstration of Clinical Improvement Using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy
Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy, 2003Co-Authors: Glenn M Callaghan, Caitlin J. Summers, Michael WeidmanAbstract:This article presents single-subject data for the treatment of histrionic and narcissistic personality disorder behaviors using a relatively brief course of an interpersonal therapy, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (Kohlenberg & Tsai, 1991). The treatment produced significant changes in these behaviors both statistically and qualitatively. Empirical methods for analyzing the changes across sessions and for determining that the therapist engaged in the proposed mechanism of clinical change are discussed. While these data are for one subject, the results of treatment provide both a method of treating difficult and long-standing client behaviors such as these, and for assessing the progress of therapy.

Does Acceptance and Relationship Focused Behavior Therapy Contribute to Bupropion Outcomes? A Randomized Controlled Trial of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Smoking Cessation
Behavior Therapy, 2011Co-Authors: Elizabeth V Gifford, Barbara S Kohlenberg, Steven C Hayes, Heather M Pierson, Melissa P Piasecki, David O Antonuccio, Kathleen M PalmAbstract:This study evaluated a treatment combining bupropion with a novel acceptance and relationship focused behavioral intervention based on the acceptance and relationship context (ARC) model. Three hundred and three smokers from a community sample were randomly assigned to bupropion, a widely used smoking cessation medication, or bupropion plus functional analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Objective measures of smoking outcomes and self-report measures of acceptance and relationship processes were taken at pretreatment, posttreatment, 6-month, and 1-year follow-up. The combined treatment was significantly better than bupropion alone at 1-year follow-up with 7-day point prevalence quit rates of 31.6% in the combined condition versus 17.5% in the medication-alone condition. Acceptance and the therapeutic relationship at posttreatment statistically mediated 12-month outcomes. Bupropion outcomes were enhanced with an acceptance and relationship focused behavioral treatment. © 2011.
