This document discusses various types of psychotherapy including supportive psychotherapy, insight-oriented psychotherapy, behavioral therapies, cognitive therapies, and psychoeducation. Supportive psychotherapy aims to help patients cope with problems in the present through building rapport and considering problem solutions. Insight-oriented psychotherapy focuses on uncovering unconscious wishes and defenses that cause maladaptive behaviors. Behavioral therapies use techniques like relaxation training, graded exposure, and thought stopping to modify abnormal behaviors. Cognitive therapies identify and challenge maladaptive thinking patterns.
