Andrew Benesh’s Reviews > CBT for Psychosis: Process-orientated Therapies and the Third Wave > Status Update

Chapter 9 feels a bit defensive, but it ends with some good reflections.

"In stretching to include elements of other approaches, third wave CBTp risks becoming the psychotherapeutic equivalent of an all-you-can-eat buffet; a cheap but not particularly tasty alternative to choosing a specific cuisine."

"It’s at this point a cynical part of me raises its hand and wonders if the link is the identity of the CBT practitioners who champion them, not attributes of the therapies themselves."

The chapter on the Method of Levels and Perceptual Control Theory is interesting, but I do wish there was more explanation of the model itself. It felt like a sort of individualistic application of general systems theory.

I appreciate the first person perspectives in the chapter on compassion based therapy. I've been hesitant to explore that treatment modality, but I think it may be worth a visit.

A concise and useful chapter on ACT.

I didn't realize that you could get the MCT currículum for free!
