3. Learning based
Psychotherapy is a learning process and it is based on learning principles. Our treatment focuses on creating opportunities for new adaptive learning outside the clinical setting. A general goal is to help people to perceive and respond to stressful life events in proactive, goal-directed, realistic and constructive ways rather than in rigid, reactive, distorted and destructive ones.
4. Strategic/Goal Oriented
Cognitive-behavioral therapy goals and interventions are based on each patient's case conceptualization. Such formulations explains the nature of the patients' problems, how they came to have them, and interrelations among the factors that currently maintain such problems. A combination of factors unique to the patient and his/her circumstances, along with factors typical of the disorder(s) she/he consults for, is used to generate such conceptualizations.
