Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB): A Primer for Clinical Use


Add your own review!

Overview

Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB) helps clinicians and researchers make objective assessments of relationship patterns, and enables clients to improve their social interactions. SASB can help identify connections between clients' current symptoms, and their current and historical relationship patterns. The SASB coding system serves as the basis for case formulation, which in turn informs the choice of interventions used in a variety of therapeutic approaches. SASB can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, thus keeping therapy on track.  This book summarizes over 50 years of research and clinical practice with SASB, and demonstrates how it can be used with any therapeutic approach. It has been traditionally used with patients who are comorbid, often rehospitalized, dysfunctional, and suicidal, although it can be used with any clinical population. SASB offers providers a therapy compass that helps clarify where the client is now, and pointing in the direction they need to go in order to reach their therapy goals.

Reviews

Structural Analysis of Social Behavior is the most fully developed and researched model of human behavior. This volume is the definitive and comprehensive guide for clinicians new to SASB as well as researchers experienced with the system. It is eminently accessible, practical, and carefully organized to be equally useful as a learning and training resource as well as a reference source. It is one of those core books that informs when first read, and will keep on serving you at each stage of your career! -- Adam O. Horvath, EdD, Professor Emeritus, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, BC, Canada
