Problem Solving Therapy
Problem Solving Therapy is a well-established evidence-based therapy form that is highly effective in patients with mental health issues. Initially, the patient makes a problem list and for each problem, possible solutions will be outlined. Considering pros and cons for each solution, the patient is asked to choose the one considered most appropriate. The patient is encouraged to put this solution into action and a follow-up consultation is planned.
