What is Psychotherapy?

Talking Cures

Available for over a year

Therapists and clients talk about the value and experience of psychotherapy. Paying a trained listener or therapist in the hope that the problem that talking about a problem will restore their sense of wellbeing is increasingly poplular. It is already an important part of treating people with personal problems but is increasingly useful in the develping world and in countries traumatised by war. Presenter: Barbara Myers.
