Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of problem-solving therapy (PST) and a justification for its recent evolutionary revision: emotion-centered problem-solving therapy (EC-PST). PST is a psychotherapy approach that emanates from a social learning framework and is based on a diathesis-stress model of abnormal behavior. The chapter initially notes how solving logical and intellectual problems are different from coping with problems in living and, thus, requires a different set of skills. The chapter further describes a multidimensional model of social problem solving, the process involved in addressing real-world problems. It discusses how social problem solving is etiologically associated with psychopathology and stressful problems. A series of meta-analyses provided for significant justification for describing PST as an evidenced-based intervention. A brief overview further delineated the clinical guidelines of EC-PST, and illustrates a clinical case their application. Last, it briefly addresses three additional issues: mechanisms of change, dissemination, and applications to diverse populations.
