View source for List of psychotherapies

{{Psychology sidebar}}
This is an alphabetical '''list of psychotherapies'''. 

See the main article [[psychotherapy]] for a description of what psychotherapy is and how it developed (see also [[counseling]], and the [[list of counseling topics]]).

This list contains some approaches that may not call themselves a psychotherapy but have a similar aim, of improving mental health and well being through talk and other means of communication.

In the 20th century a great number of psychotherapies have been created.  All of these face continuous change, both in popularity, methods and effectiveness. Sometimes they are self-administered, either individually, in pairs, small groups or larger groups.  However, usually a professional practitioner will use a combination of therapies and approaches, often in a team treatment process that involves reading/ talking/ reporting to other professional practitioners.

The older established therapies usually have a code of ethics, professional associations, training programs, and so on. The newer and innovative therapies may not yet have established these structures or may not wish to.
