Intimacy is a transdiagnostic problem for cognitive behavior therapy: Functional Analytical Psychotherapy is a solution.
Overview
This paper argues that intimacy issues are common across many psychiatric disorders but are often overlooked in standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses primarily on intrapersonal targets. It proposes Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) as a behavioral approach to address these interpersonal functioning challenges. The authors describe how FAP handles intimacy concerns and present evidence supporting the assessment of such issues.
