Abstract (AI)
The current study investigated a behavior-analytic treatment, functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP), for outpatient depression utilizing two single-subject A/A+B designs. The baseline condition was cognitive behavioral therapy. Results demonstrated treatment success in 1 client after the addition of FAP and treatment failure in the 2nd. This study highlights the challenges in measuring treatment progress and outcome idiographically in this population.
Key Findings
1
Adding FAP did not produce treatment success for the second client, demonstrating variable outcomes across individuals.
2
Adding FAP to cognitive behavioral therapy produced treatment success for one client.
3
Functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP) was evaluated for outpatient depression using two single-subject A/A+B designs, with cognitive behavioral therapy as the baseline condition.
4
The contrasting cases highlight challenges in measuring treatment progress and outcomes idiographically among outpatients with depression.
