Great - I think you'll resonate with their approach to emotions as modes of mind that organize thoughts and motivations in differing ways. Quick question, and you can email me at vestone at gmail to answer this - I am trying to find an article you cited in one of your posts that was a scathing critique of "evidence-based" psychotherapy, esp. CBT for depression. I loved the article, and I can't find your post or the citation now. Would you be able to send me that citation, if you remember which one I mean? Thanks so much. Valerie

The only therapy approach I know of that explicitly uses evolution is an approach called Compassion Focused Therapy, see work by Paul Gilbert and Russell Kolts. I am curious why it never gets mentioned here. Thanks!

It never gets mentioned because I (Josh) didn't know anything about it :) I'll have a look - thanks for alerting us to it.
