López Pinar, Carlos Galán Doña, David Tsai, Mavis Macías Morón, Juan José 2025-01-15T11:39:22Z 2025-01-15T11:39:22Z 2024-06 0969-5893 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/9928 10.1037/cps0000221 1468-2850 Functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP) is an approach based on contextual behavioral principles with a focus on interpersonal issues. This review quantitatively synthesized the evidence on the efficacy of FAP in addressing various clinical outcomes. A systematic literature search was conducted. After study selection, coding, and data extraction, outcomes were meta-analyzed using a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses, metaregressions, and bias assessments were performed. Seventy studies met the inclusion criteria. Results from single-case designs showed significant improvements in idiographic clinically relevant behaviors (i.e., avoidance of intimacy and conflict vs. engaging in intimacy-promoting behaviors, assertive expression of feelings and needs). Controlled group studies showed robust results for depression and anxiety symptoms. No significant changes were found for anger, experiential avoidance, and mindfulness. Thus, our results provide empirical support for FAP in the treatment of interpersonal behaviors and internalizing symptoms, although bias in the included studies may limit these findings. application/pdf eng American Psychological Association Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice. 2024 https://doi.org/10.1037/cps0000221 Psicología Psicoterapia Psychology Psychotherapy Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and single-case designs on the efficacy of functional analytic psychotherapy. info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice
