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.
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.
