Mission/Objectives

We are dedicated to the advancement of Process-Based Therapy (PBT) research, education, and clinical practice.

The PBT SIG aims to:

  • Develop a diverse, inclusive, and value-guided social network of researchers, educators, and practitioners who commit to advance PBT science and practice.
  • Foster collaboration to facilitate basic and applied PBT research with the overall goal of advancing clinical practice, lowering human suffering, and supporting people to live a meaningful life.
  • Support educational activities (e.g., workshop, learning collaborative) as a way to further disseminate PBT.
  • Develop and disseminate tools and materials to facilitate successful implementation of PBT in clinical practice.
