"A form of brief therapy introduced 35 years ago as a treatment for depression is gradually coming into more common use in clinical practice. In three or four months of weekly meetings guided by a published manual, therapist and patient discuss the patient's present relationships with family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and the community. The aim is to relieve immediate symptoms and to help the patient learn better ways to solve future personal problems." (HARVARD MENTAL HEALTH LETTER) This article defines psychotherapy and explains the process and its usefulness.
