MY SELECTED PSYCOTHERAPIES OF CHOICE ARE REBT AND POSITIVE PSYCOTHERAPY, SO THE LITRATURE MUST DISCUSS THESE
The first part of this project should be 11 pages long and should describe the client's demography and concern; it should then provide an evidence-based reason for your choice of therapeutic approach with the client.
