Deficits in emotion regulation are associated with various forms of psychopathology and considered a common etiological factor relevant for the development and maintenance of a wide range of mental disorders. For this reason, it is essential to cultivate emotion regulation skills in psychotherapeutic intervention. In this review, we introduce the conceptual framework of emotional regulation, summarize the relevant findings about emotional regulation and psychopathology, and address emotion regulation skill training that is recently proposed in psychotherapy. Emotion regulation has been defined as the extrinsic and intrinsic processes for monitoring, evaluating, and modifying emotional reactions. Process of emotion regulation is composed of situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change and response modulation. Various types of psychotherapeutic intervention such as mindfulness based therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy have attempted to improve emotion regulation skills. Although these therapies are developed for the specific disorders, most of the interventions have shown to be effective in a broad range of mental disorders. This may reflect the fact that emotion regulation is a transdiagnostic factor of various psychiatric disorders. Considering this, integrating various emotion regulation therapies for unified transdiagnostic protocol for wide range of disorders would be needed in the future.
