Different types of Psychotherapy for recovery
Posted: 21 Mar 2009
Hi
I am interested in gaining some knowledge about the contrast between the different types of psychotherapy available and wondered if anyone has either personally undergone a particular kind of therapy in situations of abuse, trauma, sects etc. or has studied the differences.
Is there a difference between the psychodynamic approach, the gestalt approach and the psyhoanalytic psycotherapy approach? If so, can anyone share any light as to what the differences are? Which type of therapy would be most beneficial for situations of sexual, verbal, emotional abuse, suppression and repression from childhood, complexities in adulthood resulting from a child being a victim of influence of a cult such as BKs.
I would be particularly interested to hear some real experiences of people who have undergone a particular type of therapy. I have tried to research the difference on google, but am unable to find some good explanation. The only thing that I discovered was that in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, you need to attend 3-5 times a week for 2 - 3 years. has anyone tried psychanalytic psychotherapy? If so, could you please share your experience either on forum or by pm.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks
