What Is Psychotherapy?
|
Psychotherapy is good research into the realities of life in general and into the reality of the patient's life in particular. |
|
The research done in psychotherapy must be done in the context of an important, loving relationship. |
|
People are unique and complicated. Any psychotherapy that offers recipes oversimplifies and confuses rather than clarifies our understanding. |
|
Psychotherapy involves the therapist encouraging the patient to consider and eventually incorporate new beliefs about one's self. |
|
The duration of psychotherapy depends on the nature and complexity of the problem and the person's willingness to work hard on these issues. |
