Overview of Psychotherapy:

Patients who seek out psychotherapy to treat mental illness or small mental health problems may have expectations based upon the classical definition of the term. Psychotherapy, however, is a broad term that describes a range of techniques that are used to improve mental health among individuals and families. Additionally, psychotherapy can be more or less effective in this treatment depending upon the techniques and mechanisms used by psychotherapists. There are a few critical aspects of psychotherapy that patients should experience in order to fully understand and recover from their mental health problems. One of these mechanisms is called the here-and-now experience. This experience has a major importance in regards to effective group psychotherapy, and without it, patients will not truly have the best treatment available.
