In the practice of psychotherapy and counseling, there are many different styles, theories and modes of practice. Integral Coping Therapy, located in Dalian, China, utilizes these modes:
1) Solution-Focused Therapy: This mode keeps the client focused on solving the most urgent problem. It is most often short-term (1-8 months) compared to longer term (6 mos.-3+ years). It requires of the client the ability to confront difficult and painful issues more directly than long-term approaches.
2) Analytic (Jungian) Therapy: This approach considers deeper developmental issues of the person; family-of-origin problems; childhood trauma; unconscious dynamics that are working in our lives which can be integrated with consciousness as well as psycho-spiritual development. It is often a medium to long-term approach (2-4 years) for more difficult problems. It also highlights the psycho-spiritual process called individuation, that is, actualizing one’s unique potentialities for personal and social growth.
3) Dream Analysis: from a Jungian perspective, dreams often reveal the workings of the unconscious, the shadow, or the Self. Working with dreams reveals much for our development. Dreams offer insights into unconscious dynamics and hold potential for guidance if understood properly. They use the language of symbols which have many meanings, some unique to the person, some with universal implications.
4) Sandplay Therapy: One method of accessing the unconscious processes of our life is through art, drawing, acting, and various forms of play therapy. Sandplay is a technique which derives its method from Tibetan sand painting and Jungian psychology. Using miniatures, the client creates an image in a sand tray.
5) Brief Dynamic Therapy: A short-term version of psychotherapy, demanding a more intense and focused approach for the client. Therapeutic time can be shortened by use of specific techniques of questioning and ground rules.
6) Positive Psychotherapy: This modality focuses on an individual’s psycho-social capacities in a context of change. The focus is on one’s potentials and capabilities which allows the person to attain awareness on their strengths as opposed to their illness. The individual is empowered to assume responsibility for change in their environment. There are various methods employed dependent upon one’s needs. It is a short, solution focused approach as well.
