Psychological treatments have been increasingly used with justice-involved individuals; however, evidence regarding their effectiveness remains unclear. Thus, new approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioural (CB) “third wave” therapies, have been implemented with justice-involved individuals. This systematic review describes and assesses the effectiveness of different CB “third wave” therapies, such as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness-based Approaches (MBA), Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) with justice-involved individuals. The research was conducted in four databases (i.e., B-on, PubMed, Science Direct, and PsycINFO) up to November 2023. Fifty studies were included in the review. DBT was the most assessed, followed by ACT. No studies using FAP and MCT were included. Preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of ACT, DBT, CFT, and MBA with justice-involved populations regarding aggression and violent behaviour reductions was found. However, the studies revealed some methodological shortcomings preventing us from reaching firmer conclusions. More research is needed to understand the impact of CB “third wave” therapies in forensic settings further.

对待正义个体的认知行为“第三波”疗法：系统评价

心理治疗越来越多地用于涉及正义的个人；然而，有关其有效性的证据仍不清楚。因此，认知行为（CB）“第三波”疗法等新方法已在涉及正义的个体中得到实施。本系统综述描述并评估了不同CB“第三波”疗法的有效性，例如辩证行为疗法（DBT）、接受承诺疗法（ACT）、同情聚焦疗法（CFT）、正念疗法（MBA）、元认知疗法(MCT) 和针对正义人士的功能分析心理治疗 (FAP)。截至 2023 年 11 月，该研究在四个数据库（即 B-on、PubMed、Science Direct 和 PsycINFO）中进行。该评价纳入了 50 项研究。DBT 评估最多，其次是 ACT。未纳入使用 FAP 和 MCT 的研究。初步证据表明，ACT、DBT、CFT 和 MBA 对于正义相关人群在减少攻击性和暴力行为方面是有效的。然而，这些研究揭示了一些方法上的缺陷，使我们无法得出更确切的结论。需要更多的研究来进一步了解 CB“第三波”疗法对法医环境的影响。
