Endangered Psychotherapies (Poster)

Abstract

Health insurance companies and Federal regulators are moving the American health care system– including psychotherapy–toward “evidence-based treatment.” For psychotherapy, that means a movement in the direction of short-term behaviorally-focused treatments, which can be manualized and evaluated quickly and cleanly. This movement thus imperils a rich tradition of psychotherapies which are based on European models, which are more introspective, longer-term, and harder to evaluate. This series examines three “endangered psychotherapies” coming out of European intellectual traditions: psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, Jungian psychotherapy, and Gestalt psychotherapy.
