"Nearly 90% of our psychological research is based on just 12% of the world's population, which skews our understanding of human behavior. Process-Based Therapy seeks to address this limitation."
"Process-Based Therapy redefines 'evidence-based therapy' by focusing not on syndromes but on the unique biopsychosocial processes that characterize individual human experiences."
The article discusses the profound limitations of current psychological research, which predominantly relies on a small, unrepresentative group of individuals often categorized as WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic). This skewed representation shapes our understanding of human behavior and mental health. It introduces Process-Based Therapy (PBT), a more individualized approach that prioritizes personal experiences and patterns over traditional diagnosis categories. By focusing on the unique biopsychosocial processes of individuals, PBT aims to create a more inclusive and effective therapy model for the diverse human population.
