Psychotherapy
An intentional interpersonal relationship used by trained psychotherapists to aid a client in problems of living. Aims to increase the individuals sense of well-being and reduce their subjective sense of discomfort. Forms of psychotherapy: Spoken conversion- most used written word artwork drama narrative story music Counseling - treatment of everyday problems; sometimes used interchangeably with psychotherapy.

Psychoanalysis
Study of human psychological functioning and behavior which is developed by Austrian Physician Sigmund Freud and his followers. 3 applications: 1. A method of investigation of the mind 2. A systematized set of theories about human behavior 3. A method of treatment of psychological or emotional illness. Freudian psychoanalysis - the analytical patient verbalizes thoughts from which the analyst formulates the unconscious conflicts of the patient, and interprets them for the patient to crate insight for resolution of the problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy


Aims to influence dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure. Treatment of clinical and non-clinical problems, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse disorders, and psychotic disorders.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Reveals the unconscious content of a clients psyche in an effort to alleviate psychic tension. Similar to psychoanalysis but it tends to be more brief and less intensive than psychoanalysis Relies on the interpersonal relationship between client and therapist more than other forms of depth psychology and also more eclectic than others.

Existential Psychotherapy
Partly based on the existential belief that human beings are alone in the world. Aloneness = meaningless - overcome by creating own values and meanings Psychotherapist helps patient to discover why he is overburdened by the anxieties of aloneness and meaninglessness, manage anxieties, emerge as a free and sound being.

Brief therapy
An umbrella term for a variety of approaches to psychotherapy. Emphasize: 1. Focus on a specific problem 2. Direct intervention. 3. Precise observation, utilization of natural resources, and temporary suspension of disbelief to consider new perspective and multiple viewpoints. Often highly strategic, exploratory, and solution-based rather than problem-oriented. Do not adhere to one correct approach, rather accept that there are many paths, any of which may or may not in combination that turn out to be ultimately beneficial

Transpersonal Psychology
Studies the transpersonal, selftranscendent or spiritual aspects of the human experience. Study of humanitys highest potential, and with the recognition, understanding, and realization of unitive, spiritual, and transcendent states of consciousness.

Systemic therapy
Seeks to address people not on individual level, as had been the focus of the earlier forms of therapy, but as people in relationship, dealing with the interactions of groups and their interactional patterns and dynamics.
