It is a powerful intervention that is not psychodynamic, experiential, cognitive-behavioral, or cognitive, but rather a clinical guideline for how to conduct good therapy. This volume demonstrates how the intervention can be used with different clinical populations, theoretical orientations, and modalities of treatment. Indeed, it is a transtheoretical approach that can be readily integrated into all approaches to treatment."- Marvin R.

Kohlenberg and Tsai since early 90s have been providing scientific analyses of clinical issues -such as emotion and memory, consciousness and the self, that were not commonly accepted issues by behavior community. The Practice of FAP shows how scientific precision and humanistic scope and depth can go together to enhance effective therapeutic change. This impressive book will improve indispensable for the FAP community that is rapidly growing worldwide and for all researchers and clinicians who are interested in the third wave CBT."- Paolo Moderato, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, IULM University (Milan, Italy) EABCT Past President, Founder and President of IESCUM, European Institute for the Study of Human Behavior"Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) adapts radical behavioral principles to dealing with interpersonal problems in therapy in a humane and sensitive fashion. This lively compilation describes the way that FAP can be integrated into a variety of different treatments and applied to a variety of patient populations. The authors are to be congratulated for the breadth and power of their contribution. The basic
