integrative psychotherapy
We're not wrong – we're just too early. And that's precisely why research is so important right now.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented, short-term therapy that usually comprises 10 to 20 sessions. It helps to identify and change distressing thought patterns in order to positively influence emotional reactions and behaviors.
In stressful situations, automatic thoughts often lead to inappropriate judgments and negative feelings. CBT trains awareness of how thoughts shape our perception – comparable to a lens through which we see the world. In this way, clients learn to actively and constructively shape their reality.
Schema therapy
Schema therapy, developed by Jeffrey Young in the 1990s, is primarily used for long-lasting mental health conditions such as personality disorders, chronic depression, anxiety disorders, and relationship problems. It combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, Gestalt therapy, and depth psychology, making it an integrative approach.
The goal of schema therapy is to address both current problems and biographical background. The therapy incorporates emotion-focused techniques and relies on clear, transparent goals. The therapist is direct and supportive, while the client must actively work on changing their patterns. Change requires motivation and continuous effort.
Psychotherapy based on depth psychology
Depth-psychological psychotherapy is based on classical psychoanalysis and assumes that psychological problems are rooted in unconscious conflicts. The goal is to recognize and understand these conflicts in order to better cope with everyday problems.
Unlike psychoanalysis, this therapy is more goal-oriented and takes into account both current conflicts and past experiences. A typical course of therapy lasts about six months and requires a willingness to confront one's own emotions.
Its effectiveness in treating depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and personality disorders has been scientifically proven.
Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy encompasses various psychotherapeutic methods based on learning theory. A central principle is that behavior is learned and can therefore also be unlearned or changed.
Modern behavioral therapy incorporates not only behavior but also thoughts, feelings, and experiences – especially through the integration of cognitive approaches.
