The proposed mechanism of action in Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) is therapist-contingent responses to client in-session behavior that parallels out-of-session problematic behavior. In theory, these responses shape adaptive behaviors that generalize into the client’s daily life (Tsai et al., 2009). Therefore, the therapist’s response repertoire must be ripe with interpersonally effective responses to model and shape client behavior. Thus, trainings in FAP were designed not only to equip therapists with a skillset in implementing the fundamentals of shaping but also to serve several other functions, including facilitating the development of an effective interpersonal repertoire to promote shaping. Kanter, Tsai, Holman, and Koerner (2013) demonstrated that 8-week FAP trainings may increase knowledge of FAP principles as measured through self-report and analogue tasks; however, no research examines reported changes in therapists’ interpersonal behavior in or out of session. We believe that an 8-week FAP training will increase therapist use of effective interpersonal behavior (tCRB2) and decrease therapist maladaptive behavior (tCRB1). Four newly graduated and graduate-level therapists attended an 8-week FAP training. Using an AB single-subject design, we examined the frequency of targeted interpersonal behavior. Results indicated that FAP trainings may have an impact on therapists’ daily life behaviors as demonstrated through changes in weekly frequency counts. Although the design includes significant limitations (see Discussion), these data provide some support for the utility of 1 theorized function of FAP trainings.
在功能分析心理治疗(FAP)中提出的作用机制是治疗师对来访者在治疗过程中的行为的偶然反应,这种行为与治疗过程外的问题行为相似。从理论上讲,这些反应塑造了适应行为,并将其推广到客户的日常生活中(Tsai et al., 2009)。因此,治疗师的反应库必须具有成熟的人际有效反应,以模拟和塑造来访者的行为。因此,FAP培训的目的不仅是让治疗师掌握实施塑造基础的技能,而且还具有其他一些功能,包括促进有效的人际交往技能的发展,以促进塑造。Kanter, Tsai, Holman, and Koerner(2013)通过自我报告和模拟任务证明,8周的FAP培训可以增加FAP原理的知识;然而,目前还没有研究对治疗前后治疗师人际行为的变化进行调查。我们认为,为期8周的FAP培训将增加治疗师对有效人际行为(tCRB2)的使用,减少治疗师的适应不良行为(tCRB1)。4名刚毕业和研究生水平的治疗师参加了为期8周的FAP培训。使用AB单受试者设计,我们检查了目标人际行为的频率。结果表明,FAP训练可能对治疗师的日常生活行为产生影响,这可以通过每周频率计数的变化来证明。尽管设计包含显著的局限性(见讨论),但这些数据为FAP训练的一个理论化函数的效用提供了一些支持。

Delay discounting is a theoretical framework for assessing impulsivity characterized by a tendency to choose SSRs over LLRs. Despite the potential therapeutic value of targeting impulsive choice in the context of obsessive–compulsive (OC) symptoms, little research has been done to examine the link between the 2. In the present study, we examined the role of impulsivity in OC symptoms using a monetary and novel hand-washing delay-discounting task. Participants completed both delay-discounting procedures, as well as the Obsessive–Compulsive Inventory—Revised (OCI-R; Foa et al.,2002). Participants who showed steeper delay discounting in the monetary discounting task also tended to discount steeply in the washing task. In addition, participants showed significantly more delay discounting in the washing than in the monetary task, suggesting contextual control over impulsive behavior. Further, participants with washing compulsions demonstrated greater delay discounting on the washing task than those without washing compulsions. Higher scores on the Washing subscale of the OCI-R uniquely predicted delay discounting in the washing task at a level of marginal significance. Our findings suggest that impulsivity may be implicated in OC symptoms, and indicate the need for a more precise conceptualization of the relationship between impulsivity and compulsivity.
延迟折现是评估冲动性的理论框架,其特征是倾向于选择ssr而不是llr。尽管在强迫症(OC)症状的背景下,针对冲动选择具有潜在的治疗价值,但很少有研究来检验两者之间的联系。在本研究中,我们使用货币和新颖的洗手延迟折扣任务来检验冲动性在OC症状中的作用。参与者完成了延迟折扣程序,以及强迫性清单修订(OCI-R;Foa et al.,2002)。在货币贴现任务中表现出较大延迟贴现的参与者在洗涤任务中也倾向于表现出较大延迟贴现。此外,参与者在洗衣任务中比在货币任务中表现出更多的延迟折扣,这表明情境控制着冲动行为。此外,有洗涤强迫症的参与者比没有洗涤强迫症的参与者在洗涤任务上表现出更大的延迟折扣。在OCI-R的洗涤子量表上得分越高,在边际显著水平上唯一地预测洗涤任务中的延迟折扣。我们的研究结果表明,冲动可能与强迫症症状有关,并表明需要对冲动和强迫之间的关系进行更精确的概念化。
