Document Summary
2 types: psychological and biomedical therapies, same goal different assumptions and methods. Psychological factors are the main cause of psychological disorders, so we use psychological methods. Eclectic approach: some therapist specialize in one particular type of therapy, based on the needs of their clients they pick and choose different techniques of different types of therapy. Psychotherapy integration: instead of the multiple therapies, why not take all the techniques that have been scientifically studied to work and blend them into one system, psychoanalysis. Methods: free association the patient is encourages the first thing that comes to mind, no censorship. Aim: provide the right environment so the client will develop self-awareness, self-awareness, health self-concept, and self-actualization. Methods: see example below, client-centered therapy (rogers) Refusal to use the word patient because it implies the patient is sick and the therapist is a healer. Unconditional positive regard: the therapist will accept the client no matter eha the client says or believes.
