Why study therapies for psychological

disorders?

There are almost as many therapy methods as there are disorders. Correctly matching the type of therapy to the

disorder can mean the difference between a cure and a crisis. It is important to know the choices available for treat-

possible outcome can be achieved for mental health and wellness.
