| dc.description.abstract | An integrative psychotherapy model is described which proposes that the basic
“schools” of psychotherapy, that is the psychodynamic, behavioral, humanistic/
existential, systemic and biological approaches can be synthesized into a
new improved paradigm. This total holistic approach is not in conflict with
any of the contributing models which are perceived as complementary to each
other. Moreover, there is ample scientific evidence that all traditional psychotherapies
share the same common therapeutic factors. Hellenic integrative
psychotherapy comprises a new idealistic approach which has different improved
properties in the same way that Water differs from its constituents
Oxygen and Hydrogen. Elements of ancient Greek philosophy, mythology,
history, literature, ethics, values, reasoning, mentality and way of life are considered
to be an important constituent of Hellenic Integrative Psychotherapy.
Hippocratic diet, Bodily exercises that enhance physical wellness and brain
function, Therapeutic thermal and cold baths, Thalassotherapy, Exposure to
sunlight, Music therapy, Theater therapy, Art therapy, Therapeutic architecture
and the exposure to a Therapeutically beautiful physical environment
constitute important integral elements of the presented total holistic approach.
Last but not least, Neurofeedback (training of the EEG) and Event
Related Potentials (ERPs) will be employed. | en_US |
