Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB) is a powerful tool that helps clinicians and researchers make objective assessments of relationship patterns and enables clients to improve their social interactions. It can help identify connections between clients' current symptoms and their current and historical relationship patterns, providing a foundation for case formulation and guiding the choice of interventions used in various therapeutic approaches. SASB can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, ensuring that therapy stays on track. This book summarizes over 5 years of research and clinical practice with SASB and demonstrates how it can be used with any therapeutic approach. It has traditionally been used with patients who are comorbid, often rehospitalized, dysfunctional, and suicidal, but it can be used with any clinical population. SASB offers providers a therapy compass that helps clarify where the client is now and points them in the direction they need to go to reach their therapy goals.
