“Countless research studies have shown that one of the most important factors to influence suc- cessful treatment outcomes is the therapeutic relationship. There’s no intervention more powerful than using the present-­moment interaction between client and therapist to experiment with new behaviors and promote behavioral flexibility. This book teaches clinicians how to effectively use the therapeutic relationship as a tool for behavioral change, and is a must-­read for every clinician regardless of their theoretical orientation. This book provides practical tools for guiding clinicians on how to use the therapeutic interaction to foster behavioral change; offers specific steps to iden- tify, track, and monitor both client and therapist’s targeted behaviors for treatment, and modify them in the moment; and with its many worksheets, exercises, and sample dialogues, this book is the perfect resource for any clinician who wants to help clients build authentic and more fulfilling relationships.” —­Avigail Lev, PsyD, director of the Bay Area CBT Center, and coauthor of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Interpersonal Problems, The Interpersonal Problems Workbook, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Couples “Functional Analytic Psychotherapy Made Simple clearly and elegantly describes an approach that is incred- ibly useful for therapists and coaches. The authors explain how to consciously create a context that intentionally nurtures growth. The skill of functional analysis can be applied broadly, and this book explains this skill in a way that is easy to understand and apply. Functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP) is about consciously moving into conversation with courage, awareness, and love. This book embodies this beautifully.” —­Rachel Collis, executive coach; MBA lecturer, Queensland University of Technology, Australia“This book stays with what has always been the strength of FAP: focus on the therapeutic relation- ship and functional analysis of that relationship as the central strategy for change. At the same time, it broadens the scope in a way that makes the basic principles more assessable to therapists of dif- ferent schooling. In short: excellent!” —­Niklas Törneke, MD, author of Learning RFT and Metaphor in Practice, and coauthor of The ABCs of Human Behavior “As a compassion-­focused (CFT) therapist, I’ve been amazed at how profoundly the FAP training I’ve received has deepened both my understanding of the therapeutic relationship and my ability to engage in genuine, powerfully collaborative relationships with my clients. In Functional Analytic Psychotherapy Made Simple, these expert authors give us a guide that manages to convey the theory and practice of FAP in a way that is clear and easy to understand without losing any of its precision or subtlety. Filled with clear explanation, demonstrative vignettes, useful clinical tools, and reflec- tive exercises, this wonderfully written book escorts the reader to a nuanced understanding of how to apply a functional-­analytic approach to the therapeutic relationship—­teaching us to use our most authentic selves as instruments of change and healing, and deepening our understanding of our clients and ourselves as relational beings. Functional Analytic Psychotherapy Made Simple is the perfect introduction to a transformational therapy—­highly recommended!” —­Russell L. Kolts, PhD, professor of psychology at Eastern Washington University, and author of CFT Made Simple and The Compassionate-­Mind Guide to Managing Your Anger“For clinicians who want their therapy relationships to improve their clients’ lives, this book is the place to start. A delight to read, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy Made Simple provides a clear and com- passionate guide to helping therapists be present, supportive, and responsive to clients. The book is chock-­full of vivid clinical examples, tools and worksheets, and helpful solutions for getting unstuck in therapy. The result is an excellent foundation for therapists to develop powerful curative relationships with clients, while being seamlessly grounded in the principles of behaviorism that underlie this therapy. Coming over a quarter century since the seminal book on FAP was released, and distilling the authors’ forty-­plus years of wisdom and experience, the book is a true achieve- ment. Functional Analytic Psychotherapy Made Simple is destined to become a gem in any clinician’s library. I wish I had this book when I first learned FAP many years ago.” —­Jonathan B. Bricker, PhD, behavioral scientist, psychology professor, and practicing FAP therapist “After haunting psychotherapy theory for a century, the personal relationship between therapist and client has come to its own as the most powerful tool for therapeutic change. This book explains why and how the personal relationship is essential in the treatment of psychological problems. Seldom has a single volume covered such a broad array of skills and such depths of understanding. Weaving samples of clinical conversation into theory, it makes the complexities of the psycho- therapy process—­not so much simple, but rather—­crystal clear. Its wisdom will cross cultural barriers because it speaks directly to what is at the heart of being human.” —­Luc Vandenberghe, psychotherapist in private practice and faculty member at the Pontifical Catholic University of Goias, Brazil
