- 1心理治療（台灣也常說「心理諮商」，但諮商與治療在證照上不完全一樣）
Psychotherapy is treatment for mental illness and deep distress — depression is a common example — by talking and working through problems, rather than by drugs alone. You meet regularly with a trained person; together you look at thoughts, feelings, and what happened to you. There are many named kinds (some short and practical, some longer and about the whole life story), but the shared idea is healing through conversation and attention. Though actually, people say “therapy” for almost any helping talk, including a warm chat. Real psychotherapy has a method and a frame: time, privacy, a trained . It can sit beside medicine; it does not have to replace it. It is not hypnosis, and it is not a lecture.
From the word’s history
psycho- + therapy.
由 psycho-「心理」加 therapy「治療」組成。
組成From psycho- + therapy. Psycho- is “mind”; therapy is “treatment.”
