Psychotherapy - General description
Given that psychotherapy is restricted to conversations, practitioners do not have to be medically qualified. In most countries, however, psychotherapists must be trained, certified and licensed with a range of different licensing schemes and qualification requirements in place around the world. Psychotherapists may be psychologists, social workers, trained nurses, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, counselors, or professionals of other mental health disciplines. Psychiatrists' training focuses on the prescription of medicines, with some training in psychotherapy. Psychologists have special training in psychological assessment and research in addition to psychotherapy. Social workers have special training in linking patients to community and institutional resources in addition to psychotherapy. Licensed Professional Counselors have special training in career, mental health, school, and rehabilitation counseling.
Recent trends in drug development to treat chemical imbalances have led to a more wide spread use of pharmaceuticals in conjunction with psychotherapy by medically qualified mental health nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, and in some states prescribing psychologists . While having benefits for patients with ailments such as bipolar disorder, impulse problems, schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder, drugs of late have begun to be used as a 'quick fix' and are gaining less favor in the therapeutic community.[1][2]
There are at least six main systems of psychotherapy:
- Psychodynamic,
- Cognitive ,
- Humanistic/supportive
- Behavioral,
- Brief therapy (sometimes called "strategic" therapy),
- Systemic Psychotherapy (including family therapy & marriage counseling).
For an idea of the range of different kinds of psychotherapies, see the list of psychotherapies.
