- Evidence-based therapy has been defined by protocols for diagnoses; this manual argues that era is passing.
- Process-based therapy (PBT) instead targets the processes of change that keep a particular person's problems going.
- The book gives the theory and step-by-step guidance for building a treatment plan around each client.
- It draws on the behavioral, cognitive and acceptance-and-mindfulness wings of CBT and builds bridges to other models.
Why it matters
- For clinicians and students who know some CBT or ACT and want a way to tailor treatment to a person rather than follow one protocol per disorder.

The line under a date fills as time passes: empty when new, then one equal share each for a day, a week, a month and a year. For episodes and other items it is full at 2 years; for "last checked", at a year. A striped line means the date is known only to the month or year.
