Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a set of techniques for curing or helping to solve
behavioral and other psychological problems of humans. The common part of
these techniques is direct personal contact between therapist and patient,
mainly in the form of talking.

While behaviour is often a target of the work, many approaches value the
notion of "psyche" in the root of the word. This is especially true of the
psychodynamic schools of psychotherapy, which today include Jugian therapy
and Psychodrama.

Psychoanalysis is the original type of psychotherapy, but many other
theories and techniques are used by psychologists, psychiatrists, and social
workers. Techniques for group therapy have been developed.

One of the most popular forms of psychotherapy is cognitive behavioural
therapy. This modality is particularly common in those parts of the world
where psychotherapy is influenced by the demands of insurance companies.

The ELIZA program performs an automated, extremely simplified version of
Rogerian psychotherapy.
