What is Evaluating In‐Session Therapist and Client Behaviors from a Contextual Behavioral Science Perspective about?

The aim of this chapter is to show how the principles of contextual behavioral science (CBS; Hayes, Barnes-Holmes, & Wilson, 2012) can be applied in understanding how interchanges between therapists and their clients eventuate in behavioral change both inside and outside of the clinical setting. Within this larger endeavor, three main areas will be covered: (a) the targets of assessment in therapy, (b) the strategies to measure psychological problems in session, and (c) the strategies to measure changes in client and therapist in-session behaviors. ## Targets of In-Session Assessment What is a Psychological Problem from a CBS Perspective? Contextual approaches to psychotherapy frame behavioral problems in ways that often challenge more traditional views on psychopathology. Instead of looking at psychological suffering through categories of disorders as in the medical model (e.g., American Psychiatric Association, 2013; World Health Organization, 1992), therapists from a CBS perspective consider what people do, how it affects their well-being, and what contextual features contribute to the initiation and maintenance of these behaviors (Hayes, Villatte, Levin, & Hildebrandt, 2011).
