Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) focuses on what happens in session between clients and therapists in order to create more intense and curative therapeutic relationships. FAP may be used as a stand-alone treatment or as an adjunct to other therapies in order to maximize therapeutic gains through strengthened alliance and differential reinforcement. When it fits within a client’s case conceptualization, FAP clinicians often choose to use structured, evocative activities to progress therapy at a faster pace. This article provides a rationale for using structured evocative activities in FAP with concrete examples to facilitate clinicians’ implementation of the exercises.
