Can we use the extended evolutionary meta-model (EEMM) and process-based therapy (PBT) to build bridges across psychotherapeutic islands? Can we make steps toward a coherent science unified by a common language and set of overarching principles and theory?
This PBT special issue introduces the EEMM as a tool all therapeutic approaches can use to describe the evidence-based procedures and processes within their therapy. It provides a common language and common set of scientifically validated evolutionary processes. The function is to obviate semantic disagreement and emphasize shared efficacious methods for assessment and intervention, keeping clinical psychology focused on doing what works for our clients, rather than the name of treatments.
In progress
