PSYE307 Introduction to Psychotherapy, Part 1
Annotation:
The course offers an introduction to the theory of psychotherapy based on comparing the therapeutic factors relevant to the different schools of psychotherapy (psychodynamic, group therapy and cognitive-behavioral in this part of the course). It provides the opportunity for the students to gain enough theoretical knowledge to be able to differentiate between the specific therapeutic approaches to the patient and the problems presented. The presentation of each of the schools will include a description of the theoretical model, the basic principles of the therapeutic model and the therapeutic technique as well as a comparison between the schools regarding their therapeutic factors and the use of the therapeutic relationship. This material is continued in the second part of the course with signature Psy E 422.
