Essential Ingredients of Psychotherapy that Matter the Most: My Reconciliation with the Theories of Grand Masters
Journal Title: International Journal of Psychology and Psychoanalysis - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Therapeutic ingredients form the backbone of psychological intervention. The breadth and method for learning skills, quality of teaching and the recipient i.e., therapist in training's ability to capture the knowledge combined with skills is a fluid, intense and time-limited induction process. This may encapsulate attachment theory, self-psychology, psychodynamic insight oriented psychotherapy, tools of cognitive behavior therapy, problem solving and crisis management therapy and psychodrama, and systemic, structural and strategic models of family therapy. But no single method seems sufficient in the toolbox of a therapist. The veracity of agile integration of many methods of treatment on demand, an understanding of biological advances and the key elements of goodness such as- kindness, respect and non-patronizing stance- may offer the best chance of therapeutic alliance towards psychological shift.
