The aim of psychotherapy is to bring

     One type of therapy used is psychotherapy, which “should focus on helping the individual understand the nature and consequences of his disorder so he can be helped to control his behavior” (Black, 2000). Another type of therapy used is cognitive therapy,

As a result, the usefulness of any therapy depends on the client, the therapist, and the nature of their relationship. In behavioral therapy based on operational unconditional or operant conditioning, it’s important for both the client and the therapist to reach a clear understanding about positive and negative behaviors and their rewards or consequences. Behavioral therapy seeks to change the behaviors associated with psychological problems using exposure treatments, such as systematic desensitization, implosion therapy, and flooding. What makes psychotherapy an effective treatment? 1) Support, is the success, regarding to a number of identifiable factors. The identifiable factors, are about people struggling with depression and self-doubt. (Psychotherapy may provide a welcome dose of acceptance, empathy, and encouragement). Many therapists, think carefully by providing support. The therapists first and foremost decision is before and when to tackle a task, of clients. 2).

“It is a type of psychotherapy, also known as insight-oriented therapy, that draws on psychoanalytic theory to help people understand the roots of emotional distress, often by exploring unconscious motives, needs, and defences.The goals of psychodynamic therapy are a client’s self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior.”(Haggerty, J.

Samuel Seium. Treatments that I learned from class are the theories that are used and what type of counseling sessions would work best for certain clients. Clients with eating disorders are learned to determine switch clients would benefit from individual, group, and/or family counseling. What I learned about dialectical behavior therapy is beneficial to clients with eating disorders because it can help regulate emotions. Additionally, using motivational interviewing is also effect because it help a client who feels that they do not have a problem realize that they do. Other exercises that I would use in treatment is having the clients write a letter about what they would say to their younger selfs. I now understand what is the appropriate

Insight therapies involve a lot of talking and exploring self-knowledge which promotes healthy changes in behavior and personality. This type of therapy is often lengthy as it tries to get clients to have grand insights about themselves. This is not the case for behavioral therapies, which doesn’t need any insights to produce a change in clients. However, they both try to get clients to change for the better, but they use different methods. Insight therapies change the client and behavior therapies specifically change the behavior and don’t really care about the why. Behavioral therapists believe that behavior is a product of learning and anything learned can be unlearned.

“Research has shown that these therapies help people bring about the changes they want in their lives. Talking therapy may be the only help you need to resolve your issues or it may be recommended as part of your treatment plan”.

Integrative psychotherapy challenges to take a look at numerous ways, and approaches keeping in mind the end goal of the client. Their efforts to see what can be found out and picked up from each one. Psychotherapists who utilize an integrative method are interested in different methods for coordinating various theories and structures. The four common routes are Common factors, Theoretical integration, Assimilative integration, and Technical eclecticism (Corey, 2013). Integrative therapist

This article shows the effectiveness of insight therapy. The author did a great job at explaining very meticulously the different steps she took to lead the couple through insight therapy. In addition to that, she illustrated every step with the transcript of the couple’s session, which allowed for a very comprehensive and practical understanding of the process. By looking for the opportunities to explore ruptures and unconscious motivations in the reactions of the couple, she was able to create a new relational experience and to “engender integrative insight (Marmarosh 1).” Mary and John were able to understand each other in a deeper, more meaningful way and to learn more about their own coping mechanisms as well as (understand) some of the

The long-term goal of any counselling session is to aid the client in their overcoming and defeat of obstacles they may face through the facilitation of psychological tools and theories. The evolution of psychology over the last 100 years has seen numerous theories put forth for application to therapy in the clinical setting. Two widely used and well-founded methods include Behaviour Therapy and Person Centered Therapy. The dynamics of Behaviour Therapy were first discovered by the famous researcher and psychologist B.F Skinner, through his findings on operant conditioning (Lindsley; Skinner & Soloman, 1953). The behaviour modification component of Behaviour Therapy utilises techniques founded in Skinner’s discovery of operant

Re-constructive Therapy : Client is helped to change the undesirable habits or modify his/her habits

Among the three main approaches to insight therapy (psychoanalysis, client-centered, or group therapy), the one that l believe has the most reasonable way to deal with psychological problems, is client-centered therapy. Client-centered therapy is an insight therapy that emphasizes providing a supportive emotional climate for clients, who play a major role in determining the pace and direction of their therapy (pg. 459). According to Carl Rogers, the man who devised client-centered therapy, three elements were necessary to promote positive changes in therapy: Genuineness (honest communication), Unconditional positive regard (therapist remains supportive, non-judgmental) and Empathy (therapist understands issues from client’s point of view) (pg. 460). In following these three elements, client and therapist were working together equally and helped client become more aware of themselves and even feel more comfortable with their therapist and the idea of therapy. Some people don’t seek help because they feel therapy might be too intimidating for them or it’s a step that they fear having to take. I can agree with this, because from my personal experience, l had pushed off therapy for so long because l was afraid to admit that l needed it.

In the 1950s, Ellis grew dissatisfied with the effect of analytic forms of therapy since he discovered that his clients progressed as well when saw them bi-weekly, weekly, or daily. At that point, Ellis took a more active role counseling people with family or sex problems. Furthermore, Ellis discovered his clients seemed to progress more rapidly than when he used passive psychoanalytic procedures. By 1955, Ellis had abandoned psychoanalysis entirely with his clients. Moreover, Ellis concentrated on altering client’s behavior by challenging them with their irrational beliefs and influencing them to apply rational ones. This new method was more suited to Ellis’ personality since he could be more himself (Corey, 2013).

The Psychoanalytic approach is the study of the unconscious mind and was first established by Sigmund Freud (1865-1939) who proposed the idea of mental illness being caused by psychological factors, not physical illness. Based on this, Freud attempted to use ‘the talking cure’ formally known as ‘Free Association’ to help
