PSY 6670 - Short-Term Psychotherapy


(2 Credits)

Short-term psychotherapy (brief psychotherapy, time-limited psychotherapy) is based on a variety of philosophical perspectives, but all share the emphasis on the practicality of rapid conflict resolution. During the course, we will include several of these approaches to short-term psychotherapy in the belief that effective psychotherapy must have two components. First, the therapist must be knowledgeable and skilled in the techniques. Second, the therapist must have a varied armamentarium to match the approach to the patient’s specific needs.
