Choosing Your Psychotherapy Method
There are different ways to approach selecting your method of psychotherapy. It can depend on your needs: are you simply feeling confused about your emotions and need help from an outsider, or do you have a diagnosed mental disorder? In the first case, Gestalt therapy, which focuses on working with the client's emotions and experiences, might be suitable for you; in the second case, the cognitive-behavioral approach, which is particularly effective for treating disorders, could be the right choice.
In humanistic approaches, such as existential therapy or client-centered therapy, the specialist communicates with the client as equals, revealing the hidden potential of the personality. There are more directive approaches where the therapist takes a less active role, following a work protocol with less self-disclosure. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an example of such an approach.
