"Psychotherapy" refers to the employment of psychological techniques in order to aid a person deal with problems they might have. Fundamentally, it aims to improve a person's mental health and general well-being through the mitigation of problematic behaviour, compulsions, beliefs, emotions or thoughts, as well as improve social interactions and relationships. This classic volume by James Joseph Walsh explores the subject of Psychotherapy by looking at its history and outlining the various ways in which the mind can be used to treat and heal. Walsh's "Psychotherapy" is highly recommended for those with an interest in psychology and psychotherapy, especially its history and evolution.
