TL;DR: A clinical analysis of a patient with a depressive disorder and its treatment with this type of psychotherapy is presented in this paper, where different phases of intervention are described, with examples of the therapeutic relationship.
Abstract: Functional Analytic Psychotherapy is based on principles of radical behaviorism, and emphasizes the contingencies that occur during a therapeutic session, the therapeutic context, functional equivalence, natural reinforcement, and shaping. Depression is a complex problem with multiple causes; the treatment of depression must therefore be approached from different angles. A clinical analysis of a patient with a depressive disorder and its treatment with this type of psychotherapy is presented. The different phases of intervention are described, with examples of the therapeutic relationship. The results were maintained for a period of one year and three months. Key words: DEPRESSION, FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS, FUNCTIONAL ANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY. La Psicoterapia Analitica Funcional esta basada en los principios del conductismo radical y pone el enfasis en las contingencias que ocurren dentro de la sesion terapeutica, en el contexto terapeutico, en la equivalencia funcional, en el reforzamiento natural y en el moldeamiento. Por otro lado, la depresion es un tema complejo y de dificil solucion terapeutica que requiere de una explicacion y una intervencion pluricausal. Se presenta el analisis clinico de un caso que presentaba un trastorno depresivo y su tratamiento a traves de la aplicacion de esta psicoterapia. Se describen las distintas fases de la intervencion con ejemplos de la relacion terapeutica, y el mantenimiento de los resultados durante un periodo de un ano y tres meses. Palabras Clave: DEPRESION, ANALISIS FUNCIONAL, PSICOTERAPIA ANALITICA FUNCIONAL. ********** Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) (Kohlenberg and Tsai, 1991), along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (Hayes, Strosahl, and Wilson, 1999), are two approaches to therapy based on the principles of radical behaviorism and on findings regarding functional generalization, functional analysis of language, and equivalence relations. For further information in Spanish about the implementation of FAP and ACT, two pioneering texts published by Perez Alvarez are highly recommended: "Tratamientos Psicologicos" (1996a) and "La Psicoterapia desde un punto de vista conductista" (1996b). Functional analytic psychotherapy places emphasis on the contingencies that arise during the session, within the therapeutic context, in functional equivalence, natural reinforcement and shaping (Kohlenberg and Tsai, 1991, 1995). This approach places major importance on what the client says and does in the presence of the therapist, rather than on homework, events that take place in the family setting, or the thoughts the client may have during other parts of his or her daily life. These manifestations are termed clinically relevant behaviors (CRB), and are classified into three types that the therapist should learn to identify as therapeutic goals (Hayes, Kohlenberg and Melancon, 1989; Kohlenberg, Hayes and Tsai, 1993; Kohlenberg and Tsai, 1991, 1994a, 1994b, 1995). The first category of CRB (CRB1) are actual instances of the client's problems during the session, and which the therapist should try to diminish in frequency. Normally, these behaviors are under the control of aversive stimuli and often consist of avoidance behaviors. These problems may involve thoughts, perceptions, feelings, visions or memories that occur in the course of the session. The second category (CRB2) are improvements shown by the client during the session. In the early phases of treatment these behaviors are absent or are manifested only weakly, but as therapy progresses they should become more frequent. Behaviors considered (CRB3) are interpretations by the client of his or her own behavior and its causes. They involve observations and descriptions of the client's own behavior and the reinforcing, discriminative and eliciting stimuli associated with these behaviors. Kohlenberg and Tsai (1991) refer to CRB3 as "clients' talking about their own behavior and what seems to cause it," thereby expressing appropriate cause-effect relationships and describing functional relationships that have established the problem. …

TL;DR: The Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FA) therapy as mentioned in this paper is based on the principles of radical behaviourism and emphasizes the impact of events occurring during therapeutic sessions, the therapist-client interaction context, functional equivalence of environments, natural reinforcement, and shaping by the therapist.
Abstract: La Psicoterapia Analitica Funcional se basa en los principios del conductismo radical, y enfatiza la importancia que tienen las contingencias que ocurren durante la sesion terapeutica, el contexto terapeutico, la equivalencia funcional entre los ambientes, el reforzamiento natural y el moldeamiento. Usa los dos principios basicos del Analisis de Conducta: la evaluacion funcional idiografica y la aplicacion de las intervenciones en vivo. En este trabajo se analizan las aportaciones y las novedades que hay en esta terapia. Las nuevas aportaciones son agrupadas en los siguientes puntos: la integracion con otras psicoterapias, la mejora de las habilidades terapeuticas, las formas de evaluacion y registro de datos dentro de la terapia, la aplicacion a diversos problemas clinicos y los estudios sobre su eficacia. Contributions and novelties from Functional Analytic Psychotherapy. Functional Analytic Psychotherapy is based on the principles of radical behaviourism. It emphasises the impact of events occurring during therapeutic sessions, the therapist-client interaction context, functional equivalence of environments, natural reinforcement, and shaping by the therapist. Functional Analytic Psychotherapy makes use of both the basic principles of behaviour analysis: individual functional assessment and application of in vivo treatment. This paper analyses novelties and new contributions of this therapy. New contributions are classified in various categories: integration with other psychotherapies, improvement of therapeutic skills, methods for evaluation and data recording in therapy, its application to several clinical problems, and studies of its efficacy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the VMIQ-2 has been modified in line with contemporary imagery modality and perspective conceptualizations, and the validity of the amended questionnaire has been tested.
Abstract: The purpose of this research was to amend the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ; Isaac, Marks, & Russell, 1986) in line with contemporary imagery modality and perspective conceptualizations, and to test the validity of the amended questionnaire (i.e., the VMIQ-2). Study 1 had 351 athletes complete the 3-factor (internal visual imagery, external visual imagery, and kinesthetic imagery) 24-item VMIQ-2. Following single-factor confirmatory factor analyses and item deletion, a 12-item version was subject to correlated traits / correlated uniqueness (CTCU) analysis. An acceptable fit was revealed. Study 2 used a different sample of 355 athletes. The CTCU analysis confirmed the factorial validity of the 12-item VMIQ-2. In Study 3, the concurrent and construct validity of the VMIQ-2 was supported. Taken together, the results of the 3 studies provide preliminary support for the revised VMIQ-2 as a psychometrically valid questionnaire.

TL;DR: This paper found that the psychotherapeutic relationship is at the core of the therapeutic process, which is unexpected, because others usually cast radical behaviorism in the opposite camp, one in which the therapist avoids or discounts the value of a deep, emotional therapeutic relationship.
Abstract: Our radical behavioral interpretation of psychotherapy leads to the unexpected conclusion that the psychotherapeutic relationship is at the core of the therapeutic process. Unexpected, we say, because others usually cast radical behaviorism in the opposite camp, one in which the therapist avoids or discounts the value of a deep, emotional therapeutic relationship. Carl Rogers, for instance, commented, “To me [Skinner’s world] would destroy the human person as I have come to know him… in relationship… in the deepest moments of psychotherapy” (1961, p. 391).

TL;DR: This paper analyzed some data that demonstrate that emotional intelligence is a set of skills that teachers should learn for two reasons: (1) because classrooms are the adult socio-emotional learning model with the greatest impact for students and (2) because research is showing that adequate levels of emotional intelligence help to cope more successfully with everyday setbacks and work stress that teachers face in the educational context.

TL;DR: A widespread view among philosophers of language is that language use is rule-governed as mentioned in this paper, and such a claim need not be problematic. One can, for instance, direct it against distorted notions of language.
