Individual psychotherapy
Family psychotherapy
What is the purpose of psychotherapy?
Psychology is useful for overcoming states of anxiety due to personal problems, painful losses in the family sphere, as well as coping with daily stress or particularly important choices, discomfort or suffering.
Psychological problems not properly addressed through the involvement of a specialist can affect aspects of daily life such as the relationship with food, the area of sexuality, relationships with other people and with oneself.
Family psychotherapy
Family psychotherapy is part of systemic relational theories and takes into consideration the behaviors of all family members, not just the person with psychological problems.
In fact, this method of therapy is also useful when the distress is spread to several members or even the whole family. For example, the arrival of a bereavement, or any other event that causes a strong change in the dynamics of the family group, can be the trigger for discomfort and anxiety in several people in the same family, so family psychotherapy becomes a useful tool to overcome these moments.
Other typical cases in which family therapy is useful may be:
- A child who has phobias or sleep disorders;
- A member with substance addiction;
- The difficulty in coping with changes during adolescence;
- Food problems;
- Disciplinary problems at school or relational problems in general;
- When individual psychotherapy is no longer beneficial.
The psychotherapist may give tasks to do and ask specific questions to challenge the family. At the same time, the specialist closely monitors the group’s development and directs therapy.
Individual psychotherapy
At Airam Medical Center, Dr. Elena Maccaferri provides individual psychotherapy, a course of therapy that focuses on a single person, so the psychotherapist examines the individual patient and their psychological disorders to help them cope and overcome them.
The tools available to the psychotherapist are used wisely according to the needs of the subject and the therapeutic goals that are set during the sessions.
Individual psychotherapy is widely used to give the person undergoing it all the useful tools to improve their quality of life, overcoming psychological problems that undermine their confidence and self-esteem or create anxieties and dysfunctional mechanisms.
Psychotherapy can also be done by those who have no particular psychological problems, but who have a desire to learn more about their inner selves and the mechanisms that govern emotions and relationships.
How to carefully choose the psychotherapy specialist?
When searching for psychotherapy professionals in Trebbo, Castel Maggiore, Bologna, it is important to note that they must either be psychologists in their own right or be regularly registered with the Order of Surgeons.
In addition to undergraduate courses to obtain a degree, psychotherapists must complete additional specialized courses specifically in psychotherapy. These studies, lasting about four years, must be carried out at institutions of specialization in psychotherapy recognized by the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).
This additional training is essential to ensure that the psychotherapist has acquired in-depth knowledge and advanced therapeutic tools, enabling them to provide patients with the highest level of care and support in their clinical practice.
