    The Smart Therapy model proposes a Fourth Wave of psychotherapy, focusing on an Integrated Multimodal Biopsychosocial Assessment-to-Intervention framework.

  • 2

    This model emphasizes a standardized three-domain assessment: biological prerequisites, neurostructural pattern issues, and cognitive-process habits.

  • 3

    The five-level intervention framework includes collaborative goal-setting, addressing biological barriers, and matching psychological interventions to assessments.

  • 4

    Core psychological interventions include Metacognitive Therapy for cognitive issues and pattern-reprocessing approaches for neurostructural issues.

  • 5

    Smart Therapy aims to bridge the research-practice gap by standardizing assessment processes rather than treatment protocols.
