What do we expect from psychotherapy in the future?

Authors

Abstract

First I report on a survey concerning the future of the developments of hypno-, psychoanalytical, behavioral and client-centered psychotherapies which was done on a congress of hypnotherapists in 2000. Then I consider new trends and findings: the effort to surmount the multiplicity of therapeutic schools by the way of a General Psychotherapy; the important result of psychotherapy research that the therapeutic relationship is the most relevant therapeutic factor; and the modern tendency to found psychotherapy on the results of neurology.

Keywords Psychotherapy; Developmental trends; Therapeutic relationship; Multiplicity of schools
