Abstract
HOFMANN, Stefan G. and HAYES, Steven C.. Modern CBT: moving toward process-based therapies. Rev. bras.ter. cogn. [online]. 2018, vol.14, n.2, pp.77-84. ISSN 1808-5687. https://doi.org/10.5935/1808-5687.20180012.
A new paradigm in clinical psychology is emerging. This paradigm is questioning the validity and utility of the medical illness model of evidence-based therapy, which assumes that latent disease entities exist that should be targeted with specific therapy protocols. A new generation of evidence-based care has begun to move toward processbased therapies that target core mediators and moderators based on testable theories. This could represent a paradigm shift in clinical science with far-reaching implications for the creation and dissemination of evidence-based interventions.
