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.

Praise for Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB): A Primer for Clinical Use
Critchfield and Benjamin have succinctly captured decades of pioneering work and research demonstrating, with clinical examples and empirical support, how Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy and SASB can be utilized for case conceptualization and the psychotherapeutic process. This volume is likely to be a classic in the field and a must-read for students and practitioners, as well as offering an elegant system for psychotherapy researchers.

In this book, the authors translate half a century of cumulative work on SASB, which is extensively used in psychotherapy research, and present it in a more user-friendly form. Now, students, professors, clinicians, supervisors, and researchers of any level or persuasion can collaborate in broadening and building upon such a solid structural foundation for evolving human relating, at best.
