Commonalities of Effective Therapies As you tried to identify the various types of therapies represented in this activity, did you notice any common themes that ran through all of the therapies?
Despite their differences, all effective therapies offer at least three benets: (1) They all offer hope. The patient expects that things can and will get better. (2) Every therapy offers a fresh perspective, by providing a plausible explanation of clients symptoms, and an alternative way of looking at themselves and responding to their worlds. (3) Regardless of their therapeutic technique, all effective therapists provide an empathic, caring, and trustworthy relationship.
