Affect-Focused and Exposure-Focused Psychotherapies.
American Journal of Psychotherapy 2024 January 23
The authors discuss the two broad domains of affect-focused and exposure-focused psychotherapies, defining the characteristics and potential advantages and disadvantages of each. The two domains differ in their theoretical approaches, structures, and techniques. Exposure-focused therapies have come to dominate research and practice, leading to the relative neglect of affect-focused therapies. When the two approaches have been examined in well-conducted clinical trials, they generally appear to be equally beneficial for treating common mood, anxiety, and trauma disorders, although further research may better define differential therapeutics. The authors argue for better training in affect awareness and tolerance across psychotherapies and use a brief case vignette to illustrate several aspects of these different approaches.
