AZEVEDO, Mariana Ladeira de; BORTOLATTO, Mariana de Oliveira; BIZARRO, Lisiane  and  LOPES, Fernanda Machado. Behavioral and cognitive therapies: waves from the same sea or different beaches?. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.2, pp. 1-23. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2022.v16.30871.

This theoretical article discusses the relevance of the waves or generations nomenclature of behavioral and cognitive psychotherapies based on their theoretical model, therapeutic goal, and clinical methods. Initially, a synthesis of Steven Hayes' proposal is presented. Then, a critical analysis based on the therapeutic specificities of each approach is performed, discussing, and arguing whether they configure different "beaches". One concludes that the integration of different approaches in psychotherapy must be a technical decision of the psychologist, who must consider the theoretical framework of each method.

Keywords : Cognitive behavioral therapy; Cognitive therapy; Behavior therapy; Clinical psychology.
