Moving b e yo n d SyMptoM ReductionHistorically, psychotherapy objectives have been rooted in standardized frameworks, such as the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM), which categorizes mental illnesses based on observable symptoms.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), for instance, has proven highly effective in addressing conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).However, while CBT's symptom-focused strategies are valuable, they often fall short of addressing deeper existential and emotional needs.
