LANGUAGE AND THE MECHANISMS OF HEALING IN PSYCHOTHERAPIES

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the fundamental mechanisms involved in using verbal and written language to recover from psychological disorders in different psychotherapies. It will highlight the similarities and differences between these approaches and reveal the limitations of language in clinical practice. An descriptive-analytical approach has been adopted to achieve this, and the study will conclude by drawing attention to the difficulties psychotherapists face, and the mistakes to be avoided when using language in these psychotherapies.
