Description
This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the seven most extensively studied third-wave psychotherapies: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotion Regulation Therapy (ERT), Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Schema Therapy. It also introduces two emerging modalities—Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY)—alongside Indigenous approaches and adaptations for diverse populations.
