The Summary of Treatment Protocol in motivational psychotherapy
Hosein Sahebdel, Mohammad Tahan
Abstract
Reviewing the history of theories associated with psychotherapy establishes that motivational psychotherapy (MPT) has been centered on environmental mind, lies, selfishness, and rich mind, which are often rooted in previous theories but portrayed in an effectively different manner. MPT disapproves of most theories of psychotherapy, wherein psychoanalysts, exaggerating the past, place individuals in very deep holes and indoctrinate them with some disgusting lies, and in fact, instill truths in their own minds and suggest a difficult way to cope with them. The analytical method has been also exploited to reflect on the theory of MPT. The results of this study revealed that MPT, recruiting the concept of rich mind, opens a new path for clients to effortlessly remove many problems in order to reach perfection and nurture their soul.
