Official title
Assessing the Mechanism of Change of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy: An Analysis of a Process-Driven Behavioral Intervention
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study seeks to assess the mechanisms of change of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). FAP is a process-outcome psychotherapy that focuses on the therapeutic relationship, providing services to participants presenting with difficulties in their social interactions and relationships. A multiple baseline design between four participants who report interpersonal relating difficulties and psychological distress will be conducted. Therapists will provide contingent reinforcement to clients' behavior in session with the aim of: 1. Examining the mechanisms of change of FAP via contingent responding to participants' interpersonal difficulties. 2. Determining the effectiveness of FAP on the interpersonal functioning of verbally able adults. 3. Establishing the relationship between the amount of contingent reinforcement and the changes in clients' interpersonal repertoires (proportion). Four hypotheses will be explored in this study: (1) contingent reinforcement functions as the mechanism of change in FAP, (2) FAP implementation decreases the frequency of interpersonal problems in and out of session, (3) FAP implementation increases the frequency of interpersonal functioning in and out of session, and (4) a higher proportion of reinforcement delivered by therapist enhances clients' alternative behaviors.
