Development and empirical testing of innovative procedures has a long tradition within cognitive behavioral therapy. However, the discussion of psychotherapeutic processes and their integration with established procedures is a relatively neglected area. This article seeks to remedy this state of affairs and ideally stimulate further dialogue regarding the integration of processes and procedures. This article begins with a brief theoretical introduction and then includes sections on integrating psychotherapy processes with session structure, self-instruction, and rational analysis. Several techniques are described and numerous methods for working with young patients are recommended.
