Course Programs in Psychotherapy

A course typically focuses on an individual subject. It can last from a few days to a couple of years, depending on the field of study.

What is a course in psychotherapy? This course of study teaches students the psychological methods for helping people to change and overcome personal problems for the purpose of improving a patient’s well-being and mental health. Typical class offerings include psychology, statistics, research methods, cognitive processes and psychological assessments. Once you have a basic understanding of this field, you can enter into more specialized psychotherapy areas, such as humanistic, insight-oriented, cognitive-behavioral, systematic, expressive and postmodernist.

The skills students learn enhance every area of life and include listening, critical thinking, communication, boundary setting, business management and empathy. They learn how to study the cognitive, emotional and social aspect of human behavior through the process of observation, interpretation and documentation.

Every school and country is different, so the costs for the course can vary greatly. It’s best to contact the institution of your choice and ask about fees for registration and enrollment.

Individuals trained in the field of psychotherapy work in the private and public sector. Most jobs are found in the psychiatric units of hospitals, treating patients with a wide variety of mental disorders. Graduates can also find employment in places such as medical clinics, college health centers, community centers, government agencies and private clinics. If you don’t desire to work with patients, you can teach psychologist, health care professionals and social workers. Opening a private therapy practice is an option many students take after completing a course program.
