Intervention with Hyperactive Children

Abstract

The definition, goals, and procedures of psychotherapy are difficult to define in ways that would satisfy the practitioners and theoreticians of psychotherapy. In the traditional image, we find a therapist listening empathically, occasionally offering interpretations, and otherwise involved in building a supportive relationship with the client. The contemporary variations of therapy include differing theoretical orientations and procedures; group and family, as well as individual treatment; a range of active to passive involvement by therapist and client; and variations of time in therapy.
