Psychology Lab #1 — How Does Psychotherapy Actually Work?
About the event
How Does Psychotherapy Actually Work?
5 different ways of understanding the human mind! Why can different therapists look at the same person and understand them completely differently?
For our first Psychology Lab, we will explore five major approaches to psychotherapy: psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, CBT, humanistic, systemic, and existential.
We will ask: What shapes who we become? Why do we struggle? And what actually helps us change?
We'll start with a short research-based presentation, followed by an open discussion comparing the different perspectives, their strengths, contradictions, and limitations.
No formal psychology background is required, Some prior knowledge of psychology or psychotherapy is recommended. This is a space for people who want to engage with psychological ideas beyond an introductory or pop-psychology level.
