What is Psychotherapy?
- Behavioural therapy is a discipline of psychotherapy.
- The starting point is the exact consideration (analysis) of the situation, behaviour, feelings and thoughts currently , being, experienced, in order to understand, how the problem has arisen. The central assumption is that , we humans have learned a lot and will continue to learn throughout our lives, i.e.. we can also unlearn things and learn newer, , more appropriate - ways of thinking and behaving. This then also influences our psychological experience and our further development.
- The therapist sees herself as a support for self-help.
- Depending on the age,, problem and individual preferences, different methods are used.. With children, play is often the central medium of communication- and change, and is then increasingly replaced with elements of conversation as they grow older..
