Psychotherapy (Addiction)

The treatment of emotional or behavioral problems by psychological means, often in one-to-one interviews or small groups. Modern psychoanalysis and cognitive therapies concentrate on the patient's beliefs. Other therapies, such as those within humanistic psychology, attend to the patient's emotional state or sensitivity. The distinction, however, is not clear-cut, as all these therapies involve intense exploration of the patient's conflicts, and most rely on the emotion generated in therapy as a force in the patient's recovery. In contrast, behaviour therapies derive from the view that neurosis is a matter of maladaptive conditioning and concentrate on modifying patients' behavior.

Psychotherapy (Alternative Health)

Body Oriented -
Body-Oriented Psychotherapy seeks to enhance the psychotherapeutic process by incorporating a range of massage, bodywork and movement techniques. Acknowledging the mind/body link, practitioners may use light touch, softer deep-tissue manipulation, breathing techniques, movement, exercise or body-awareness techniques to help address emotional issues.

Psychotherapy (Massage)

intended to help people who would like to improve their ability to cope with difficulties and problems in their lives

Psychotherapy (Medical)

The treatment of mental and emotional disorders using psychological methods, such as counseling, instead of physical means

Psychotherapy (Problem Teenagers)

The treatment of mental disorders, emotional problems, and personality difficulties through talking with a therapist.

Psychotherapy (Therapy)

Psychotherapy (Women's Health)

Counseling or "talk" therapy with a qualified practitioner in which a person can explore difficult, and often painful, emotions and experiences, such as feelings of anxiety, depression, or trauma. It is a process that aims to help the patient become better at making positive choices in his or her life, and to become more self-sufficient. Psychotherapy can be given for an individual or in a group setting.
