- Title
Beyond diagnosis- and therapy-centred therapy: the case for incorporating contextual factors in psychotherapy treatment planning.
- Authors
Restifo, Sam
- Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this paper is to outline a basic approach to psychotherapy treatment selection, with an emphasis on the role of contextual factors. Method: Observations and suggestions are based on clinical work and reading of the psychiatric literature. Conclusion: It is preferable to organize psychotherapy treatment selection around a consideration of case formulation and contextual factors rather than just diagnosis or a general preference for a purportedly superior type of therapy.
