Primary sources[edit]

I think this page could benefit from more in-depth explanation of what the therapy is, with subsections for different subtopics. Additionally, it could be beneficial to widen the breadth of the citation sources to give additional credibility to the page. Kruderian (talk) 05:34, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kruderian: I added Template:Primary sources to the article to reflect the issues that you identified in your comment above. Also note that this article was already tagged with Template:Psychology-stub, and the issues that you noted are typical of stub-class articles. The article just needs more attention and elaboration to graduate from stub class to a higher class. Biogeographist (talk) 14:30, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New additions[edit]

I added subsections to this article to further explain its core principles and applications. I explained the central techniques used in CFT as well as the emotion regulation systems that CFT centers around. In the applications section, I explained some psychological disorders where CFT has been researched as a possible therapy. I also addressed some limitations of the therapy and further recommendations. Throughout these sections I drew on a larger variety of sources to add credibility to the article. 21:58, 3 December 2018 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Francinefishbein (talk • contribs)
