What Type of Psychotherapy?

She has the worst case of agoraphobia I've ever seen. A peer counselor is stopping by every day to work with her. It took a week to get her out of the front door...

Behavioral

We have this voluntary program at the state penitentiary for men who have been convicted of child molestation. We are currently trying a method in which we pair electric shock with pictures of attractive children.

Behavioral

I asked her to list the reasons why she thinks she is unable to get through a job interview. She gave me three typewritten pages that I could have never believed someone could have that many fears.

Cognitive

We think that depression is frequently the result of misinterpretation of environmental events, a tendency to attribute failures to the self and accomplishments to thing like luck, fate of the help of other people.

Cognitive

People do not develop in isolation. They are part of an interacting system.

Family therapy

That child was bad actor; he had a serious behavior disorder. It wasn't difficult to understand how he got that way after I had a few sessions with his parents and siblings.

Family therapy

He needs to convince himself that his past failure are not elements of a pattern that will govern his future. And he need to convince himself he is in charge of his life.

Humanistic

I had to refer a patient to another therapist last week. I just couldn't seem to identify with the guy, and couldn't accept the way he acted.

Humanistic

The theme of hostility toward authority figures occurs over and over again in his dreams and free associations, yet he claims that he and his father had a close and affectionate relationship.

Psychodynamic

When she started relating to me in the way she related to her mother, it became clear that she perceived her mother as a rival for her father's affection.
