Contextual behavioral therapies are linked to basic research that helps change and improve the treatment and training procedures of contextual therapists. Currently the proposal to conceptualize therapies in the community of contextual behavioral sciences is changing from the perspective of therapeutic procedures to the perspective by therapeutic processes. Therapeutic processes are the mechanisms of underlying change that lead to a treatment target. A therapeutic process -based training facilitates a better understanding of the procedures applied in therapy, because it directly links treatment to theory, and as a result increases the accuracy, reach, efficacy and efficiency of therapists, to relieve problems and promote life improvement from People (Hayes & Hofmann, 2018).
