Process Based Therapy (PBT)

Title
Applying a process-based therapy approach to compassion focused therapy: A synergetic alliance
Publication

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) targets underlying shame and self-criticism to shift one's style of self-relating and capacity to engage with a soothing-affiliate mode. CFT has a strong evidence-base and has been adapted for diverse presenting problems and populations. CFT can serve as a stand-alone treatment approach, or an effective addition to other evidence-based approaches.


The extended evolutionary meta-model and process-based therapy: Contemporary lenses for understanding functional analytic psychotherapy
Publication

Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) is a type of psychotherapy often described as "process-based" because treatment targets are idiographically defined, and intervention strategies are specified in behavioral principles. Recently, refinements have been made to the idea of process-based therapy (PBT) that incorporates an extended evolutionary meta-model (EEMM). The present discussion articulates how FAP fits into current conceptualizations of engaging in PBT.

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?
