5. Research-based Interventions
Cognitive-behavior therapy is the fastest growing and more rigorously studied kind of psychotherapy. Cognitive-behavioral interventions are based on clinical outcome research. An extensive number of clinical trials have helped to evaluate and demonstrate its efficacy for many psychiatric disorders.
6. Collaborative
Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between the therapist and the patient(s). The therapeutic relationship becomes a safe interpersonal context where patients explore and learn new ways of thinking, behaving and feeling. In addition, with patients' consent, CIP therapists maintain collaborative relationships with the patients' physicians in order to coordinate their care and to assist those who need psychiatric medications.
