This paper discusses different theories of psychotherapy in an attempt to identify which theory to apply to which situation.
The paper examines the long-term psycho-dynamic therapy, the comparatively short-term cognitive-behavioral therapy, and the
humanistic approach. Eclecticism is described as a therapy that considers all the above
therapies to suit the patient. Kelly's 'Personal Construct Theory' is explored as the paper contends that no single therapy can be applied to all clients; hence, therapies are to be tailor-made for each and every client, as the problems of individuals are unique to themselves.
