Interpersonal Functioning clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Assessing the Mechanism of Change of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy

FAP

Start date: February 2, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study seeks to assess the mechanisms of change of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). FAP is a process-outcome psychotherapy that focuses on the therapeutic relationship, providing services to participants presenting with difficulties in their social interactions and relationships. A multiple baseline design between four participants who report interpersonal relating difficulties and psychological distress will be conducted. Therapists will provide contingent reinforcement to clients' behavior in session with the aim of: 1. Examining the mechanisms of change of FAP via contingent responding to participants' interpersonal difficulties. 2. Determining the effectiveness of FAP on the interpersonal functioning of verbally able adults. 3. Establishing the relationship between the amount of contingent reinforcement and the changes in clients' interpersonal repertoires (proportion). Four hypotheses will be explored in this study: (1) contingent reinforcement functions as the mechanism of change in FAP, (2) FAP implementation decreases the frequency of interpersonal problems in and out of session, (3) FAP implementation increases the frequency of interpersonal functioning in and out of session, and (4) a higher proportion of reinforcement delivered by therapist enhances clients' alternative behaviors.
