Eastern and Western perspectives on Therapy and Healing

Psychology has experienced rapid development in the last few decades by research, technological advancement, and human behavior understanding. A rise in mental health problems dominating our lives has a need for new approaches toward therapy. The book Emerging Psychotherapies in the Field of Psychology explores innovative and transformative therapies that are building the future of psychological care.

It's on these observations, having experienced life as a student, a practitioner, and just being interested in psychology that inspired this book. Of course, classic therapies like psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral therapy, or humanism are essential. Still, the more innovative models are continually moving beyond and providing novel, effective strategies for recovery. Consider the possibilities in mindfulness-based therapies, neurofeedback, virtual reality exposure therapy-these, of course, just open a door.

This book is intended for students of psychology, aspiring therapists, and other mental health professionals seeking broader horizons. It can also be a good resource for researchers who would like to explore some innovative therapeutic techniques.

I hope this book inspires readers to be innovative while honoring the roots of psychotherapy. Emerging therapies open up new horizons in the rapidly evolving landscape of mental health care to support healing, growth, and transformation.
