Following in the steps of the first edition, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy: Distinctive Features, 2nd Edition, provides a history, context, and building blocks for a behaviour therapist to incorporate Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) into their work.

This new volume updates material based upon research that has occurred since the first edition, as well as philosophical and theoretical shifts in behaviour therapy, such as an emphasis on FAP as a process-based therapy. Each FAP principle is presented in terms of its intended purpose and is clearly linked to the underlying theory, providing clinicians with a straightforward guide for when and how to apply each technique. Practical tips have been added to aid in case conceptualization and the integration of a FAP framework into other process-based, behavioral conceptualizations. The added breadth and depth also emphasize FAP's unique role in meeting the needs of diverse and marginalized people and applying FAP across diverse settings.

This book will be an important read for any student, trainee, or CBT practitioner.
