MY BASIC APPROACH TO PSYCHOTHERAPY

timism of the day: My basic approach to psychotherapy is to zero in, as quickly as possible, on the client's basic philosophy of life; to get them to see exactly what this is and how it is inevitably self-defeating; and to persuade them to work their ass off, cognitively, emotively and behaviorally, to profoundly change it. Just sayin. Take it. Test it. Teach it.
