Individual psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy involves meeting with a therapist to explore one's feelings, attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors in order to bring about positive change. The goals are to reduce symptoms, modify disturbed patterns, and promote personal growth. Different types were discussed, including psychoanalysis which focuses on unconscious forces, supportive therapy for chronic conditions, hypnosis using relaxation techniques, and reality therapy which emphasizes present coping skills. The nurse's role is to reinforce positive behavior, coordinate care, develop trust, and explain the treatment process.
