Document Summary
The increased availability of third-party coverage for therapy has meant that people of all socio- economic levels (and not just the wealthy) now receive therapy. People being treated as outpatients live in the community and make regular visits to their therapists" offices for their treatment. Vagus nerve stimulation via an implanted pacemaker-like decide (a pulse generator) can influence the mood centres of the brain. Transcranial magnetic stimulation involves placing a magnetic coil on or over a patient"s head. The procedure appears to increase neuron activity in the prefrontal cortex, sometimes helping to alleviate depression. Short-term psychodynamic therapies involve the client working on a single focused problem over a small number of sessions. Relational psychoanalytic therapy involves the therapist playing a more active and equal role in interactions with clients as the therapist discloses personal experiences and feelings. Standard psychodynamic therapy, by contrast, involves a distant, aloof therapist and can go over many, many sessions: list and describe psychodynamic therapy techniques.
