Psychotherapy (also psychological therapy or talking therapy) is the
use of psychological methods, particularly when based on regular
personal interaction with adults, to help a person change behavior and
overcome problems in desired ways. Psychotherapy aims to improve an
individual's well-being and mental health, to resolve or mitigate
troublesome behaviors, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts, or emotions,
and to improve relationships and social skills. There is also a range
of psychotherapies designed for children and adolescents, which
typically involve play, such as sandplay. Certain psychotherapies are
considered evidence-based for treating some diagnosed mental
disorders. Others have been criticized as pseudoscience.Psychotherapy

a thousand different psychotherapy techniques, some being minor
variations, while others are based on very different conceptions of
psychology, ethics (how to behave professionally), or techniques. Most
involve one-to-one sessions, between the client and therapist, but
some are conducted with groups, including families.Psychotherapists
may be mental health professionals such as psychiatrists,
psychologists, mental health nurses, clinical social workers, marriage
and family therapists, or professional counselors. Psychotherapists
may also come from a variety of other backgrounds, and depending on
the jurisdiction may be legally regulated, voluntarily regulated or
unregulated (and the term itself may be protected or not).
