How Psychotherapy Constructs (and uses) its Own Concepts
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of the article is to establish how the meanings in psychotherapy are built, and how psychotherapeutic intervention is possible. The distress psychotherapy addresses stems from the denial of fundamental human needs. The denial occurs during personal growth, due to a failure in key interpersonal relationship. Psychotherapy aims to correct and repair the negative effects of these failures. The therapist – patient relationship is fundamental to achieving this change.
