“…However, group effectiveness studies are less frequent in published literature, such as those of Gaynor and Lawrence (2002) about adolescents with depression where authors combined cognitive-behavioural therapy with FAP in the interactions of live experiences. Maitland and Gaynor (2012) conducted a first study with 8 participants who were afraid of personal and intimate relationships, showing the efficacy of FAP for those social relationships. Holman et al (2012) carried out two trials with a short 4-session FAP treatment, one with 7 people and another with 6.…”

is a contextual therapy that is part of the so-called third generation therapies (Hayes, 2004; Pérez-Alvarez, 2012). One key feature is to reconsider the therapeutic context itself as the fundamental interaction for a change in behaviour to occur. The functional analysis of the therapeutic relationship is proposed as fundamental as it assumes that the clinical setting is a natural condition where a client's problems may occur, and also an opportunity for the client to make improvements. FAP is an idiographic therapy, which is based on the principles of functional analysis of a client's behaviour during the session. It includes contingencies of natural reinforcement and shaping that happen within the clinical session itself. In addition, FAP establishes the functional equivalence of the behaviour in the context of a session with other outside behaviours, which occur during the daily life of an individual (Kohlenberg & Tsai, 1991, 1995). The change process focuses on a client's direct behaviour, what the client does and/or says within the session (including talking, thinking, feeling, seeing, hearing, remembering, emotional responses, etc.), which are the so-called "clinically relevant behaviours" (CRB). There are three types of these behaviours, which the therapist must learn to identify as therapeutic goals (Kohlenberg & Tsai, 1991, 1994, 1995; Kohlenberg et al., 2009). CRB type 1 are the client's problems that are revealed during the session, usually complaints and problems that cause him/her to suffer, and whose frequency should Clínica y Salud (2021) xx(x) xx-xx

Palabras clave: Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional; relaciones terapéuticas; eficacia y efectividad; formación del yo. ResumenEn este trabajo se exponen los fundamentos, las características, y los principios conductuales en los que se basa la Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional (FAP) y sus recientes avances. Sus fundamentos son: (a) el análisis funcional de la conducta del cliente que ocurre durante la sesión, (b) las contingencias de reforzamiento natural y el moldeamiento que ocurren dentro de la sesión clínica, y (c) la equivalencia funcional del contexto clínico con la vida diaria del mismo. Se caracteriza por definir unos objetivos de intervención, las denominadas Conductas Clínicamente Relevantes (CCR) y también cinco reglas terapéuticas como orientaciones fundamentales para el terapeuta. La FAP hace hincapié en la relación cliente-terapeuta, y esto da la oportunidad de moldear y reforzar in situ las mejoras en la propia sesión clínica. Una sus mayores aportaciones es su teoría de la formación del Yo que permite hacer un refinado análisis de los problemas relacionados con la personalidad y su tratamiento. Se describen también los recientes estudios de efectividad y de eficacia de esta terapia con resultados muy positivos en distintos tipos de trastornos. Finalmente, se discute su integración con otras terapias de tercera generación, lo que produce efectos sinérgicos en los resultados. AbstRActIn this work there are exposed the characteristics, the foundations and the behavioral roots that support the Functional Analytical Psychotherapy (FAP) and its recent advances. Their foundations are: (a) the functional analysis of the client's direct behavior that happens during the session, (b) the shaping and natural contingencies of reinforcement that happen inside the clinical session, and (c) the functional equivalence between the clinical context and the daily life problems. As characteristics, FAP outlines some aims of intervention, referred to as Clinical Relevant Behavior (CRB); and also five therapeutic rules as fundamental guidance for the therapist. The FAP emphasized the client-therapist relationship, and this gives the opportunity to shape and to reinforce the improvements into the in situ clinical session. Their major conceptual contribution is the theory about the formation of Self, doing a refined analysis of the personality problems and its treatment. There are described also the recent studies of efficacy and effectiveness of this therapy with very positive results in different types of disorders. Finally, its integration with other therapies of third generation is discussed, which produces synergy effects in the results.

“…It is a way of acting handling all the current knowledge of functional analysis of behaviour and applying them in a natural context of the relationship between the therapist and the client (Tsai et al, 2019). In addition, it is not only a psychotherapy by itself, as it can also be combined with other therapies, producing synergistic results in different conditions and clinical settings (Kanter et al, 2017;Kohlenberg et al, 2005;Macías et al, 2019;Maitland & Gaynor, 2012).…”

Introduction: The Life Snapshot Inventory (LSI) is a self-report instrument to measure the meaningful vital, personal, and social directions. It was created in the Functional Analytic Psychotherapy as a continuous evaluation of vital changes in areas of life (family, work, love, spirituality, sexuality, health, etc.). Objective: The aim was to validate its psychometric characteristics for the first time. Method: This study involved 530 participants (average age 33 years), in a Spanish sample. The questionnaire has been compared with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) to obtain convergent validity. Results: The results showed a high internal consistency (α=.93) and a correlation of .61, both statistically significant. The factorial analysis showed only one factor (43.56% of variance). In addition, it was sensitive to changes due to interventions, and made it possible to differentiate those people with vital problems. Conclusion: This questionnaire could be a helpful measure for healthcare and clinical contexts.
