Zusammenfassung

Die Verhaltenstherapie blickt inzwischen auf eine lange Entwicklungsgeschichte zurück. Die drei bedeutendsten Entwicklungsphasen der Verhaltenstherapie sind hierbei die „behaviorale“ Phase, die „kognitive Wende“ sowie die sogenannte „Dritte Welle“. Die Dritte Welle der Verhaltenstherapie ist gekennzeichnet durch sehr heterogene Therapieansätze. Vorgestellt wird hier die Bezugsrahmentheorie (BRT), da die BRT für zahlreiche neuere psychotherapeutische Methoden das wissenschaftstheoretische Fundament bildet. Hierbei erläutert die BRT, wie es zu Erlebnisvermeidung („experiential avoidance“) kommt, welche mit der Entwicklung einer bestimmten Psychopathologie in Zusammenhang gebracht wird. Erlebnisvermeidung beschreibt den Versuch, schwieriges inneres Erleben wie Erinnerungen, Gefühle und Gedanken zu kontrollieren. Die Akzeptanz- und Commitmenttherapie (ACT), als eine Strategie der Dritten Welle in der Verhaltenstherapie, setzt genau an diesem Punkt der Erlebniskontrolle an. Die Wirksamkeit von ACT ist mittlerweile in einer Vielzahl von Studien auch für unterschiedliche Störungsbilder gut belegt.

Abstract

Behavioral therapy has greatly evolved and branched out in different directions since its inception. Three stages in the development of modern behavioral psychotherapies can be discerned: behaviorism, the cognitive revolution, and, most recently, the so-called third wave behavioral therapies. Characteristic of third-wave therapies is the great heterogeneity in treatment strategies. To gain a deeper understanding of several third-wave approaches, we here outline relational frame theory (RFT) as an important theoretical foundation. RFT explains how experiential avoidance, a behavioral strategy aimed at eschewing unpleasant internal experiences (e. g., thoughts, feelings, memories), promotes the onset and progression of psychopathology. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a prime example of a third-wave therapy, focuses on cultivating the skills needed to embrace discomforting thoughts and emotions. Accumulating evidence including meta-analytic evidence supports the effectiveness of ACT in a wide array of psychiatric disorders
