This podcast is the narrated version of my article A Brief History of Psychotherapy.
It seems that to be effective, therapists need to focus on client resources and potential solutions at least as much as pathology and causes.
In this episode I talk about:
- The origins of modern psychotherapy
- ‘Counselling’ and ‘psychotherapy’
- Mind metaphors
- Electrifying ideas and the computer age
- The ‘Father of Western Psychotherapy’, Franz Mesmer
- Why psychoanalysis cannot be called a science
- Gaps in cognitive theory
- In search of solutions
- Cutting-edge therapy and being human
