Document Summary
Therapy: therapists introduce you into the relationship psychological interventions that are designed to promote new understandings, behaviours, or both. An overview of treatment: psychotherapy: treatment of mental disorders by psychological methods, psychotherapy takes time and money, though it may be less expensive in the long-run than alternative intervention methods. Stressful current life circumstances: divorce or unemployment as well as other stressful situations lead people to seek therapy. People with long-lasting problems: they have a long-term history of distress. These people seek help out of dissatisfaction or despair. Reluctant clients: may be referred from a physician and be told their symptoms are psychological. Often reluctant to believe that is the case: people given ultimatums (therapy or divorce) are also reluctant, males are more reluctant than females to enter. Who provides psychotherapeutic services: physicians are trusted by patients, so they often tell them about their emotional problems, members of the church often deal with people experiencing an emotional problem.
