How does therapy work? Is it more important for therapy to be scientific and evidence-based or to be something more idiosyncratic? A subjective experience that captures an individual's unique reality? A distinctive, understanding space created between therapist and client? Wellness and meaning-making beyond symptom reduction?
In the following article psychotherapist Mike O'Connell explores these questions and emphasises the significance of therapy being more than scientifically-based techniques. He also notes the benefits of having different types of psychotherapy. Furthermore he backs up his arguments with examples specific to LGBT persons.
