All Humanistic and Existential Therapies

Psychotherapies centered on personal growth, meaning, choice and the whole person rather than symptom reduction alone, in the tradition of humanistic and existential psychology. This includes person-centered and Gestalt approaches (person-centered therapy, gestalt therapy, gestalt theoretical psychotherapy, humanistic therapy broadly), existential and meaning-focused approaches (existential therapy, logotherapy, positive psychotherapy, morita therapy), choice-based and contemplative approaches (reality therapy, contemplative psychotherapy, satitherapy), and transpersonal or spiritually oriented growth-focused approaches (psychosynthesis, spiritual self-schema therapy). A growth-oriented label attached to a therapy whose actual working mechanism is cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic or family-systemic is grouped under that mechanism instead.
