Relation to other psychological treatments

Authoring team

There is significant overlap between counselling, crisis therapy and analytic psychotherapy.

Crisis therapy is indicated for immediate and overwhelming problems than those dealt with by counselling. Problems that may be appropriate for crisis therapy are those where the patient has not the psychological resources to cope with an immediate problem that is often characterised by the need for social and practical intervention.

Analytic psychotherapy is indicated for patients with longstanding psychological disorders, whose emotional and interpersonal difficulties are the product of internal (ie neurotic) rather than external challenges.
