The Psychotherapy Method Matrix

The Psychotherapy Method Matrix

Combining systemic and behavioural therapy techniques

- working transparently and flexibly in psychotherapy
- includes many case studies and therapy dialogues
- interdisciplinary procedure


These days in psychotherapy, transparency and mutual agreement are being increasingly demanded. Not only are the goals of the therapy determined together with the affected person, but also, based on these, the type of method. This transparency demands new expertise from psychotherapists.

Using the method matrix, a model with a combination of methods, working with the client on an equal footing can be successfully put into practice. The model can be used for various disorders (e.g. depression, anxiety disorders, anorexia) and works in an interdisciplinary way. In this way, it is possible to react flexibly to whatever needs there might be. The model combines systemic and behavioural therapy methods. A range of examples shows the concrete procedure followed during therapy step by step. Additional therapy dialogues demonstrate the use in a practical environment.
