a | The therapeutic rationale underlying cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT; grey), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; blue) and psychodynamic therapy (PDT; red). In all of these therapies, individuals are learning more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving, but the means for learning more adaptive skills varies between approaches. b | PDT looks very different from CBT and ACT in face-to-face practice. c | The psycho-educational content and interactive tools for Internet-based CBT (iCBT) and Internet-based ACT (iACT) are similar. The format of Internet-based PDT (iPDT) also looks fairly similar to both iCBT and iACT in that there are psycho-educational lessons and interactive tools that examine individuals’ thoughts and behaviours.
