Il principio attivo della psicoterapia
The active principle of psychotherapy
Nowadays, at least 250 school of psychotherapy exist, but about 20 are the most known and followed. This is the sign of the radical change of psychotherapy in the last decade, in methods, times, techniques and also in clinical indications.
However, the problem whether different psychotherapies have different indications according to the patient or to the disorder, is still open. There are not specific guidelines or formal indications; the only factor that determines referral appears to be the clinical experience of the referring physician. Sending a patient to a psychotherapist is often in itself the successful moment of a psychotherapy, but it could be underestimated.
