Third generation cognitive-behavioral therapies and genital pain
Overview
This paper reviews literature on third-generation cognitive-behavioral therapies for genital pain, focusing on mindfulness-based CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, and compassion-focused therapy. It summarizes findings from 21 publications, noting that mindfulness-based approaches show promise in reducing fear and improving sexual function, while ACT and CFT have demonstrated benefits in related chronic pain contexts but lack specific research for genital pain. The resource is intended for readers interested in the current state of evidence regarding these therapeutic modalities.
