ABSTRACT
This chapter presents four remediation steps of Situational analysis (SA), is the major technique used in cCognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP). The bridge between the two phases of SA: first, (CBASP) practitioners do not stop and explore WHY the patient succeeded or failed to obtain the desired outcome (DO). Instead, they move on into the second phase, remediation. However, answers to the WHY question will change in degree of accuracy over the course of treatment. After the author complete the elicitation phase, everyone and the author will go back to Step two on the Coping Survey Questionnaire (CSQ) and determine what led to your achieving your desired outcome or why you failed to obtain the DO. This is known as Step one of the remediation phase or the fix it step. Actually doing it repeatedly facilitates patient acquisition learning. Most patients ultimately learn to self-administer the SA methodology without assistance from the practitioner.
