Comparing Humanistic-Existential Psychotherapy with Other Approaches

Understanding the strengths of each type of therapy and which type of therapy is most appropriate for each patient is an essential skill of the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner.

You will identify the strengths and challenges of each approach and describe expected potential outcomes.

To prepare:
