key words of the psychotherapeutical
(cognitive-behavioral) approach
_______________________________

  • goal-orientation: therapy targets defined objectives
  • specific and pragmatic: problems are analysed on the micro-level of behavior, reactions, feelings, and cognitions;
    change is a step-by-step process
  • here and now: the therapeutic work focusses the present and aims at solutions for the future, starting today
  • resources: individual strengths and qualities are important aids for overcoming problems
  • empathic and supporting: respect and transparent actions are characteristic of the therapeutic work alliance with the clients
