| description | Psychotherapy is an independent, interdisciplinary science that encompasses
psychotherapeutic directions based on scientific principles and methods. Through the psychotherapeutic
process, psychotherapy aims to achieve personal growth, remove or lessen the intensity of existing
psychosocial, psychosomatic and behavioral problems and suffering, as well as help develop more
functional patterns of behavior and experiences of interpersonal relationships or value systems. Research
has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a strong impact on psychotherapy in terms of the
way it is carried out, change in the environment in which it is performed, and online psychotherapy
has been introduced. The aim of this study was to find information, through available literature, on the
impact of the pandemic on mental health and psychotherapy, and also to spread awareness about the
current identified risks connected to the greater morbidity of psychiatric disorders and diseases and
the need of psychotherapeutic interventions. Previous studies have shown that the pandemic increased
the incidence of psychological disorders and diseases and the need of psychological intervention.
Available data have shown that in the times of strict epidemiological measures during the COVID-19
pandemic, certain modifications of the psychotherapeutic process were made in terms of the use of
online psychotherapy. |
