[General psychotherapy].

Nowadays a theoretical psychotherapeutical thinking develops from the eclectic practice and uses particularly the research of the effective factors of the therapy. Best they can be characterized as differentiate, synthetic, integrative and exceeding other approaches. The development in question goes on with attempts of creating a general model of the psychotherapy that could be a basis for models of special psychotherapies. The aim of such a model is to describe all that is present as important factor for inducing a desirable change of a human in all psychotherapeutical approaches. Among general models we can mention the generic model of D. E. Orlinski and K. I. Howard, Grawe's cube (the author is K. Grawe) and the equation of the psychotherapy.

[The strategy and contemporary subjects of research in psychotherapy].

By the means of the research of the psychotherapy we can obtain objective and reliable informations that help us to decrease the risk of the subjective distortion, to control the influence of the chance events and to find the connections otherwise not observed. We use several types of research strategies: a qualitative or quantitative strategy, intensive, extensive, multi-variational strategy etc. The contemporary research deals with the effectiveness of the therapy, the indication and the psychotherapeutical process. It was found out that the therapy by the psychological means is demonstrably more effective than the placebo therapy or no therapy, and using various methods we induce qualitatively different changes. That is why the differential approach is necessary; this approach leads in the theory towards progressive integration and towards forming the general model of the psychotherapy.
