Directions Imagine that you are a mental health provider and are talking to someone on the phone who is wondering about your services and therapy in general.  Given the variety of types of psychotherapy presented in the textbook, which would you provide?  To make this decision, you will need to understand each type of therapy as well as evaluate which is most effective. First, for each of the treatments listed in your textbook, you will need to: 1) write a 2-3 sentence summary that explains what that treatment believes to be the source of the disorder (9 points total; 1.5 points each) 2) write a 2-3 sentence explanation of one main technique used in that treatment (6 points total; 1 point each).  Second, select one of these treatments and find evidence that supports the effectiveness of the treatment.  In other words, how do we know that this type of therapy works to help people overcome their disorder?  This evidence should be from a reputable source and should be quantitative – using numbers to indicate effectiveness. In-text and full citations in APA format are required! Format (2 pt): Introduction paragraph (at least 3 sentences):  Includes a definition of psychotherapy, an overview of the approaches to treatment, and a statement of the treatment you believe to be most effective.    Paragraph 1 (4-6 sentences): Summary explaining psychoanalysis and explanation of one psychoanalytic technique.
