Question

Describe the nature and scope of psychotherapy.

Answer in Brief

Solution

Nature and scope of psychotherapy :- Psychotherapy is a voluntary relationship between the one seeking treatment or the client and the one who treats or the therapist.

The purpose of the relationship is to help the client to solve the psychological problems being faced by her or him. The relationship is conducive for building the trust of the client so that problems may be freely discussed. Psychotherapies aim at changing the maladaptive behaviours, decreasing the sense of personal distress, and helping the client to adapt better to her/his environment.  Inadequate  marital, occupational and social adjustment also requires that major changes be made in an individual’s personal environment.
