Psychotherapy has been defined by Freud as treatment by psychological means. The purpose of the present paper is to invest-tigate how psychotherapists in family cou-nseling centers understand the processes and the formation of psychotherapy.
Using purposive sampling in 2019-2020,
sixteen in-depth interviews were cond-ucted with psychotherapists and couns-elors with at least 7 years of professional experience in family counseling centers. Semi-structured interviews were analyzed using a deductive-inductive thematic ana-lysis approach. Accordingly, 120 initial open codes, 3 main categories, and 8 subcategories were recognized regarding the psychotherapy processes. The results showed that psychotherapists and coun-selors in family counseling centers understand psychotherapy based on their personal perceptions, their activities, and the resources they used. The use of div-erse perspectives and eclectic approaches in psychotherapy demonstrated that psychotherapists pay attention to the con-sistency and inconsistency of therapeutic approaches with Iranian culture.
