Psychotherapy is a counseling treatment method for psychosocial problems and psychiatric disorders. Conversations between the patient and the therapist are central. In psychotherapy, people learn, among other things, what they can do by themselves to reduce the symptoms.

Description

Description

The goal of psychotherapy is to reduce mental symptoms or make them more manageable. The patient’s commitment here is as important as the expertise of the psychotherapist. The result depends on the nature of the problems and one’s own possibilities. Psychotherapy is often hard work for a patient. The process is often accompanied by ups and downs. A successful psychotherapy treatment does not guarantee that the patient will be happy for the rest of his or her life and cannot change any circumstances, such as low income or unemployment. But with the help of psychotherapy, it is possible that the patient learns to handle the problems better.
