What is therapy?
1/14/2008
Before understanding what therapy is about, one must first understand what the word means. As is the case with many medical terms, therapy was derived from a Greek term and is the attempt of treating a problem a patient is diagnosed with. In plain and simple terms, therapy means treatment. Treatment can take the form of certain prescriptions or exercises, depending on the problem.

Parents, babies and frustration

There comes a time in many people’s lives when they find that special someone. They date, they get married and then they can’t wait until they have a little bundle of joy.

Therapy for social phobia
2/16/2008
It may seem strange, but there are a lot of people out there who are shy of other people and some of these people are so shy of other people that they can’t even make friends. If not corrected, a person can develop an anxiety or an intense fear of socializing with other people.

Therapy with adoptees in puberty
2/29/2008
The background of these reflections is a number of therapies with a uniform content matter: the adopted child enters puberty, and the family experiences a number of serious conflicts to the surprise of those involved. These conflicts often contain the element of intense anger towards the adoptive parents, some times even violence. I have tried to convey some reflections on useful ways of understanding this chain of events, hoping that they can be useful for therapists when planning the therapeutic sessions: 1. What is special about the bonding process between adoptive parents and the adoptee? 2. What problems may be generated by these circumstances? 3. How can you work?
