Depression is a condition that can affect anyone, but there are many ways in which the person suffering from depression can be helped. People usually control their anxiety with medication and use therapy to find ways to feel more in control of their lives, their thought patterns and their anxiety. Psychological problems are often seen in the context of where the individual functions, whether it be work, school, or home. Family therapy is very useful in taking the context of the psychological problem into account. People often feel defensive to attend family therapy, as they feel criticized and feel as if their family gets labelled as disfunctional or abnormal. Sometimes couples go through difficult stages in their relationship, like the birth of a child, death of a parent, or children leaving home. They then attend therapy to find ways to work through this difficult phase and to make certain adjustments in order for them to carry on having a fulfilling relationship. Often patients experience crises with an important person in their lives and they need some guidance on how to deal with the person or situation. Constant stress may spill over to other psychological problems, like depression, anxiety, or adjustment disorder, to name but a few. It is important that patients find ways of dealing with their stress more effectively. Often people struggle to adjust to change when entering a new phase, or even the change in identity when entering a new phase of life. An eating disorder is a complex symptom and often long term therapy is needed, which may include family and couples therapy, as these problems have an impact on various aspects of the patient’s life. Other professionals will most likely also get involved in the treatment, like a dietician and a psychiatrist. Therapy will involve psycho-education and also working with the patient’s family and partner. Sexual difficulties may imply couple therapy if the couple experiences difficulties in their physical relationship, but may also imply individual psychotherapy, where the person needs to deal with his/her sexual problems on his/her own and to also address underlying reasons for the problem. These problems are often addressed within the context of emotional or psychological problems, which may sometimes spill over to sexual problems. When people go through difficult periods like the loss of a loved one, divorce, break-up of a relationship, change in their work environment, or a change in their physical health/appearance, they often seek the help and support of a psychologist. A therapist is not there to change the situation, but rather to support the person through one of the most difficult periods of their lives. Sometimes patients come to therapy to address specific problems at work, like having to deal with a difficult boss or work colleague, unfair circumstances, or an impossible work load. Again, this refers to some kind of stress in the patient’s life, which triggers behaviour that impacts on the person’s interpersonal relationships and general functioning. The context of the problem and reaction to the problem will be taken into account in therapy and problem solving behaviour, within the context of the patient’s ability will be accessed through therapy techniques. Sometimes children feel regret and guilt when they talk about their parents and need to find ways to understand and cope with their behaviour at a specific time in their lives. Often couple and family therapy are part of the therapy process, in rehab as well as during the therapy process.
