This article provides an overview of the major contribution that presents three emerging approaches to counseling: narrative therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. The three theoretical systems were chosen because they are current, for the most part not addressed in the mainstream counseling psychology literature; have well-defined theoretical structures and associated research support; are of significant interest in the wider practice community; and are consistent with the values and philosophy of counseling psychology. This overview includes a brief description of the theoretical approaches, the reasons for choosing them, and the structure used by the authors to present them. In addition, training implications are briefly addressed.
