Contemporary Psychotherapies

A review of the current status of psychotherapy by a comparison of the views of personality and psychopathology implied by the psychoanalytic and behavioral models. Diverse samples of current psychotherapies are studied and compared. These may include rational-emotive therapy, Japanese therapies, and meditative therapies; Milton Erickson's approach to short-term treatment (including use of hypnotherapy); several forms of family therapy, behavioral medicine, and biofeedback; and some novel approaches such as ethnotherapy.
