摘要

Contemporary psychotherapy approaches increasingly converge on shared explanatory principles and change processes, while retaining distinctive theoretical roots.This narrative review aims to identify the shared components and different features of Compassion-Focused Therapy (Gilbert, 2005), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Hayes et al., 2012) and Internal Family Systems Therapy (Schwartz 2013a). To do so, each model’s theoretical foundations, clinical principles, intervention targets and core procedures is presented and compared. The approaches all foreground mindfulness, acceptance, and compassionate self-relating as central pathways to change. They differ, however, in their conceptualization of psychopathology, the role of psychoeducation, the degree of therapist directiveness, and the clinical functions assigned to mindfulness-based practices. These findings suggest that clinicians aiming to cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and acceptance can select among multiple evidence‑based frameworks considering their therapeutic orientation and interpersonal style.
