In this review of A Process-Based Approach to CBT by Svitak and Hofmann (2024), we highlight the strengths and limitations of both the book and the therapeutic approach. The authors focus on the theory and evidence underlying a process-based approach to both psychopathology and its treatment via cognitive behavioural paradigms. They offer useful and practical steps for application of this approach in clinical practice, along with helpful worksheets. The focus on considering underlying nuanced and interrelated processes of psychopathology rather than on external observable symptoms moves the goals of therapy from changing explicit behaviours to disrupting their underlying mechanisms. This book would be useful to clinicians at all stages of training and practice who are interested in expanding their practice to focus not only on discrete diagnostic categories, but on using network models to conceptualize and ultimately target problematic processes and mechanisms that are likely causing symptoms.
