          Abstract

          Abstract Behavior Therapy-as well as its three generations-has been shown to be the psychotherapeutic technology with the most empirical evidence in clinical and health psychology. However, each of its generations is based on different philosophical foundations. In this paper, we briefly present their historical background, their strengths, and the possible drawbacks that we find in each one. First, behaviorism (methodological and radical) and its various techniques based on the principles of learning, followed by the emergence of cognitive-behavioral therapies in a historical context marked by cognitivism and, today, the most effective technique for a wide variety of cases. Finally, those known as third generation (or contextual) therapies, a technology derived from functional contextualism that is the basis of these therapies. As conclusions, the relevance of the debate surrounding the object of study of psychology and the adherence to evidence-based psychological treatments is highlighted.

          Resumen La Terapia de Conducta, así como sus tres generaciones, ha mostrado ser la tecnología psicoterapéutica con mayor evidencia empírica en psicología clínica y de la salud. Sin embargo, cada una de estas generaciones parte de unas bases filosóficas diferentes. En este trabajo se presenta brevemente su recorrido histórico, sus puntos fuertes y los posibles inconvenientes que nos encontramos en cada una. En primer lugar, el Conductismo (metodológico y radical) y sus diversas técnicas basadas en los principios del aprendizaje, seguido por el surgir de las Terapias Cognitivo-Conductuales en un contexto histórico marcado por el cognitivismo y siendo, a día de hoy, las más eficaces para una amplia variedad de casuísticas. Por último, las denominadas Terapias de Tercera Generación (o Contextuales), tecnología derivada del contextualismo funcional que sienta la base de estas. Como conclusiones, se recoge la relevancia del debate sobre cuál es el objeto de estudio de la psicología y se remarca la adherencia a los Tratamientos Psicológicos Basados en la Evidencia.

              Efficacy of the third wave of behavioral therapies: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

              During the last two decades a number of therapies, under the name of the third wave of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), have been developed: acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy (CBASP), functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP), and integrative behavioral couple therapy (IBCT). The purposes of this review article of third wave treatment RCTs were: (1) to describe and review them methodologically, (2) to meta-analytically assess their efficacy, and (3) to evaluate if they currently fulfil the criteria for empirically supported treatments. There are 13 RCTs both in ACT and DBT, 1 in CBASP, 2 in IBCT, and none in FAP. The conclusions that can be drawn are that the third wave treatment RCTs used a research methodology that was significantly less stringent than CBT studies; that the mean effect size was moderate for both ACT and DBT, and that none of the third wave therapies fulfilled the criteria for empirically supported treatments. The article ends with suggestions on how to improve future RCTs to increase the possibility of them becoming empirically supported treatments.
