Contextual therapy is based on four main principles:
1. People are products of their environment.
Contextual therapists believe that people are products of their environment. This means that the way we interact with the world around us shapes who we are and how we view ourselves. Our family, friends, community, and society all play a role in shaping our identity. Contextual therapists work with their clients to help them understand their environment’s impact on their lives.
2. Contextual therapy is client-centered.
Contextual therapy is client-centered, which means that the therapist focuses on the individual client’s needs. This approach is based on the belief that each person is the expert on their own life. The therapist works to help the client understand their unique circumstances and find solutions that work for them.
3. Contextual therapy is goal-oriented.
Contextual therapists work with clients to help them identify and achieve their goals. The therapist works with the client to develop a plan of action and then helps them to implement that plan. This approach is effective in helping people to make positive changes in their lives.
4. Contextual therapy is collaborative.
Contextual therapy is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. The therapist works with the client to help them understand their unique circumstances and find solutions that work for them. This approach is effective in helping people to make positive changes in their lives.
