Imagine that you are a mental health provider and are talking to someone on the phone who is wondering about your services and therapy in general. Given the variety of types of psychotherapy presented in the textbook, which would you provide? To make this decision, you will need to understand each type of therapy as well as evaluate which is most effective.

First, for each of the treatments listed in your textbook, you will need to:

1) write a 2-3 sentence summary that explains what that treatment believes to be the source of the disorder (9 points total; 1.5 points each)

2) write a 2-3 sentence explanation of one main technique used in that treatment (6 points total; 1 point each)

The treatments you need to write about are:

Psychoanalysis
Person-centered therapy
Behavior therapy
Cognitive therapy
Group treatments
Biological treatments
Second, select one of these treatments and find evidence that supports the effectiveness of the treatment. In other words, how do we know that this type of therapy works to help people overcome their disorder? This evidence should be from a reputable source and should be quantitative – using numbers to indicate effectiveness. You can research the evidence on your own using the internet – just be sure to verify the quality of the source! – or see pp. 506-508 in your textbook. (3 points)
