Explain the nature of the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist in different Psychotherapies.

Answer:

Ans.     Psychodynamic therapy assumes that the therapist understands the intrapsychic conflicts of the client better because of his training and maturity. He interprets the thoughts and feelings of the client and provides insight of the same to the client.

Behaviour therapy assumes that the therapist is capable of finding out the correct behaviour and thought patterns, which would be adaptive for the client.

Existential and humanistic therapy assumes that therapist simply listens and develops a relationship with the client in which the client himself resolves his problems.
