Psychological Therapies =Talk Therapies
(called Psychotherapy) Based on the
Perspectives
Psychotherapy are Talk Therapies based on Perspectives (goals):
Psychoanalysis-(insight therapy) Freud:
Insight into unconscious motives and feelings
1. Psychodynamic Therapy influenced by Freud:
same as above-by identifying themes across important
relationships, including childhood and therapist’s
2. Humanistic Therapy -self acceptance and self fulfillment
Both 1 and 2 are Insight Therapy=Helps people reduce inner
conflict and increase self-understanding; assume that
psychological problems lessen as self-awareness grows
3. Behavior Therapy: uses behavior modification to change
learned behaviors-least likely to explore underlying causes
4. Cognitive Therapy: identifying and changing faulty beliefs
that affect feelings, thoughts and actions
5. Cognitive -Behavior Therapy :
changing both the way we think and act since our irrational,
negative thinking affects our behavior
Eclectic Approach-using a blend of therapies
