FAP:

Functional Analytic Psychotherapy

A therapy that uses the client-therapist relationship to create meaningful change.

Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) focuses on the therapeutic relationship as a primary means of bringing about meaningful change. Developed by Robert Kohlenberg and Mavis Tsai, FAP emphasizes the importance of in-session behaviors and interactions between the therapist and client. By addressing these behaviors in real-time, FAP helps clients develop more effective interpersonal skills and improve their emotional and psychological well-being.
