What is therapy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

          I thought about what may be the best way to describe therapy, what function it can have in our lives, and all together why it may be important at all. I think there is no universal description as there are many theories out there (and different therapists would possibly describe therapy in different ways) and some of them point towards different directions. However, most definitions have something in common. In this section, I will briefly describe therapy in two ways: first, by using a more scientific description, and then by using my own ideas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

          So, let’s see what some researchers have to say about the matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

An earlier definition<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          In a study\u00b9 from 1998, researchers described psychotherapy as a type of intervention that helps clients to improve on certain areas in their lives. For such improvement to happen, they say, a collaboration is needed between client and therapist. If they manage to work together, the client can function ‘better’ in certain areas in their life such as the way they think, feel and behave.<\/p>\n

According to this study, the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is essential for achieving a positive outcome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A contemporary definition<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          Some researchers, in a 2019 study\u00b2, thought that the aim of psychotherapy is for the client to feel better [of course!], to think more flexibly and to function better as well. In this study, the researchers put more emphasis on personal meaning as they thought that if a client understands their personal experiences more (they attach meaning to their experiences), then that can lead to a positive therapeutic change.<\/p>\n
