The third wave includes many different approaches, they emphasize the role of emotions, meta-cognitions, meditation practice. Cognitive therapy focuses on the our appraisals of events and situations. People with mental disorders have cognitive distortions in information processing, distortions evoke certain feelings (e.g. anxiety, fear) and then result in maladaptive behavior, which is maintained vicious cycles.
