Psychotherapy

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article describes psychotherapy which particularly interests me given my career field as a therapist trainee. Knowing information about psychotherapy is very vital not only for mental health professionals, but those who are looking to seek therapy as well. This field is beneficial in helping those who struggle mentally and need changes implemented into their lives for a variety of reasons (e.g. emotional disorders, relationship distress, etc.) My initial impression of what psychotherapy is was very similar to this article on psychotherapy. The first paragraph briefly defined what psychotherapy is as well as identifying the population of people involved within it.

Evaluate the article
This article's lead section briefly describes the definition of psychotherapy, it's purpose, and the identification of people partaking in psychotherapy. It does this all in a concise way. The layout of the article hits on the main points such as the delivery of psychotherapy, it's regulation, the types of psychotherapy, and the effects it has. This article is organized well so that the reader has a clear understanding of where to find specific information about psychotherapy based on the section titles.
