INSIGHT ORIENTED PSYCHOTHERAPY
The Behavioral therapies (CBT, DBT and IPT) help you challenge mistaken concepts and change maladaptive behaviors. ISTDP is an intensive approach to reprocessing psychological issues, while Supportive Psychotherapy supports people under stress. Insight oriented psychotherapy most closely resembles the therapy people see in the movies -- "talk therapy."
Insight oriented therapy is not a cure for anything. It's more about finding your inner voice and understanding what life is all about.
For most people Insight Oriented Psychotherapy is not a jumping-off point. A majority of patients enter into it after successfully completing one of the short-term psychotherapies.
Is Insight Oriented Therapy for me?
The fact that you are capable of introspection by wondering if it's right for you, demonstrates a knack for the most important aspect of it-- Introspection.
How long does it last?
A while. Insight Oriented Psychotherapy is a long-term psychotherapy. Expect to meet with your doctor at least twice a week for at least a year.
How much does it cost?
It's not cheap; usually a complete treatment is between ten and twenty thousand dollars- Equivalent to a major cosmetic procedure, but the results last a lifetime.
