The Future of Psychotherapy in Psychiatry

The Future of Psychotherapy in Psychiatry - 2002.
28
By American standards, psychiatry is a branch of applied neurobiology. The understanding of psychic suffering is thus reduced to the strict application of statistical evidence obtained through operational science. This presents the risk that psychotherapy may be lost. Young practitioners will continue to be less attracted to psychiatry and patients themselves will eventually determine what therapy is best suited to their needs. Swiss psychiatry should continue in its tradition of pursuing hermeneutic values for which it is widely renowned. This is demonstrated through two recent psychotherapeutic approaches to depression: (1) existential analysis, and (2) relational ecology.
