What is NOT a Psychosocial Approach?
- It is not a therapy method that includes medication.
- It is not just the support that individuals with personality disorders receive.
- On the contrary, difficulties that create stress and anxiety and feelings that are difficult to cope with in daily life are the main areas of this service.
- It is not a magic touch where problems are solved by giving advice.
- The main focus of the psychosocial approach is to empower individuals and to take responsibility for their own lives. For this reason, there is no advice that includes guidance in these sessions.
