Abstract

This chapter forms a continuation of the two previous chapters (Chap. 2: Origins and Development of Third-Wave Therapies, and Chap. 3: FMDT Key Concepts) by placing the progress of psychotherapy and the important concepts and principles that have been explained within the framework of mode deactivation theory and practice. A thorough understanding of the adolescent’s development of modes and schemas based on his past experiences, and how these relate to thoughts, emotions, and behavior in the conceptualization and approach of Mode Deactivation Therapy (MDT) is provided in this chapter. In reality, the expression of behavior is a reflection of this cognitive process, which could form a disruptive spiral when strengthened by negative responses from others, especially in the adolescent’s home. A deeper understanding is provided of the differences between the theoretical basis of other contextual theories and the mode deactivation process, and, more importantly, why we claim that MDT is more effective in dealing with adolescent behavior problems.
