The third wave of cognitive behavioral therapy and the rise of process‐based care
Overview
This paper by Hayes and Hofmann outlines the historical evolution of cognitive behavioral therapy, distinguishing between first, second, and third generations. It describes the 'third wave' as a shift toward contextual approaches focusing on the individual's relationship to thoughts and emotions rather than their content. The authors discuss emerging models such as acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness-based interventions, while addressing controversies surrounding the 'wave' metaphor.
