Psychotherapy encompasses similar techniques for the alleviation of human suffering the world over.
We shall examine these universal techniques and then the major schools of Western psychotherapy for their different models of personality development, etiology of psychopathology, and conception of healing. Models include psychoanalytic, existential, cognitive, behavioral, and their hybrid forms. We shall focus on these modern therapeutic models of change along with techniques used to effect change and development, the therapist-patient relationship, psychological studies of interpersonal influence, current research findings on the process and outcome of psychotherapy, and ethical issues.
