For appropriate Psychotherapy

Editorial

Abstract

It seems an outdated, if not naive or trivial, topic to address the issue of psychotherapy that is "appropriate" (not only in the sense of adequate, but also "of its own making" to both patient and therapist). For years and from many quarters, in fact, interesting technical developments, new methods and even integrated strategies have been proposed. In this context, the concept of appropriateness finds an epistemological space inherent in more than just doing psychotherapy; in doing it and being authentic in doing it
