Abstract

Introduction

Encapsulating psychotherapy in a few pages can be a very difficult task. As Bruce Wampold, author of The Great psychotherapy Debate: Models, Methods and Findings, pointed out, there are more than 250 distinct approaches under the umbrella of psychotherapy, each one remarkably different from the other (Wampold 1). Unfortunately, it is precisely this sheer volume of "methods" associated with psychotherapy that has led many critics to question its scientific basis and declare it a sham medical treatment. Derided as no more than "talk therapy", psychotherapy is bogged down by the difficulty of ascertaining a common ground for the treatment, due to the voluminous number of methods linked to it. As the book Therapy's Delusions rightfully notes, "no one agrees on what psychotherapy is." (Watters and Ofshe 129)
