Chapter 20 is concerned with various kinds of counselling, psychotherapy, behavioural and cognitive therapies, and some related techniques. It addresses that this chapter should be read in conjunction with the general advice about treatment in the chapters on physical treatment and on services, that this chapter contains advice on the general value of various treatments. Advice about the value of these treatments for specific disorders is given in the chapters concerned with the relevant disorders, that psychological treatments are often combined with medication, and appropriate ways of doing this are considered in the chapters concerned with the relevant disorders, that because many different techniques of treatment are considered here, none can be described in detail, and suggestions for further reading are given in several places in the chapter, and lastly, that although outline descriptions of technique are given in several places, supervised experience is essential before any of these treatments can be used with patients.

‘Psychological treatments’ is concerned with various kinds of counselling, psychotherapy, behavioural and cognitive therapies, and related techniques. Psychotherapy and psychological treatments have been an integral aspect of psychiatry from its beginning. The chapter describes the development and classifications of different psychological treatments and draws attention both to their differences but also the common factors on which they all draw. Some psychological treatments, such as counselling and crisis intervention and supportive psychotherapy, are part of routine psychiatric practice. The chapter also describes more specialized forms, including interpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, dynamic therapies, plus group and family therapies. Adaptations for treatment of elderly patients and children are covered and, lastly, superseded treatments of significant cultural and historical interest are outlined and the special ethical problems attending psychological treatments addressed.

A tanulmányban a kognitív terápiák számos új irányzata közül a legfontosabbak kerülnek bemutatásra. A kognitív terápiák második hulláma a komplex problémák, a személyiségzavarok és identitászavarok kezelésére irányul, hosszabb időt és szorosabb terápiás kapcsolatot igényel: ide tartozik a sématerápia, Beck és munkatársainak a személyiségzavarok kezelésére kidolgozott kognitív terápiája, valamint Linehan dialektikus viselkedésterápiája. A kognitív terápiák harmadik hullámához a metakognitív, valamint tudatos jelenlét (mindfulness) szerepét kiemelő irányzatok tartoznak; ez utóbbi a valóság radikális elfogadására buzdítja a személyt a nehézségekkel való adaptívabb megküzdés érdekében.
