Understanding how early events in life may be shaping the way you see the world now. In the loosest sense - about trying to build a strong connection between the therapist and the client. Described as therapy based on the notion of love (i. e. client may need to feel loved) Mental illnesses are not about one individual person, but instead describes a series of relationships. Someone"s behavior is a result of the complex web of relationships within the family. Based on the idea that a person"s mental health problem stems from an imperfection in the physical organ of the brain (i. e. imbalance of chemical neurotransmitters) Seen in places without a plethora of mental health resources.
