Abstract
Third wave cognitive psychotherapy process models suggest that emotional disorders do not depend on biased mental representations, but rather on the dysfunctional interaction between voluntary and regulatory processes and emotionally charged, automatic associative processes. From a clinical viewpoint, while traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based treatments have focused on change, third wave process approaches recommend flexibility in balancing acceptance and change. Among process approaches, the chapter explores in details the use of case formulation in acceptance and commitment therapy, process-based CBT, schema therapy and metacognitive therapy.
