Question

Nelson is seeing a psychotherapist whose approach to treatment involves addressing the "whole person." The therapy does not consider an isolated problem or behavior, but takes a larger view of the process of improvement. What type of therapy is this?

Answer 1

The psychotherapy that addresses "the whole person" is the so-called humanistic psychotherapy. Instead of trying to point fingers at specific problems in an individual's life, it assumes a holistic view, taking the person as a whole instead of focusing on their particular aspects. Its goal is to empower the individual and strengthen their belief in themselves, as well as other people.
