Psychotherapy is a therapeutic way to communicate with clients, leading to mutual understanding, self-awareness, and conflict resolution in oneself and interpersonal relationships. According to Cammisuli and Castelnuovo (2023), psychotherapy affects clients biologically by changing the amygdala and prefrontal cortex neural pathways that process emotions, behaviors, and attachment styles. Chemical messages from the brain control feelings, emotions, and subsequent behavior if there is no differentiation. Psychotherapy can directly change thought processes and behavior, thereby affecting the biochemical environment in the brain of an individual through emotional regulation and behavioral change.  

          Many factors, such as culture, religion, and socioeconomic considerations, can influence how psychotherapy intervention is viewed. The client’s interaction with society can determine an individual’s perspective on the validity, usefulness, and importance of mental health interventions such as psychotherapy. Individuals understand the world through their environment and experiences shaped by cultural norms, religion, and socioeconomic status. Likewise, societal status can limit access to healthcare resources; religious constructs can influence moral barometers of what is considered appropriate, and cultural norms can determine what is viewed as acceptable behavior, which can manifest as guilt, shame, and denial (Fonagy & Luyten, 2021).

          Furthermore, the clinician should consider legal and ethical considerations for group and family therapy and the differences between individual therapy. According to (Avasthi et al., 2022), psychotherapy group sessions can strengthen relationships and foster mutual reliance on community but come with additional concerns about maintaining a therapeutic environment for healing and growth. The therapeutic relationship during psychotherapy should involve informed consent, respect for individual agency to make informed decisions, confidentiality regarding the disclosure of sensitive information in a group setting, permission to engage others in health promotion, and maintaining boundaries of others. Therefore, approaches to group or family sessions should be handled differently, personal boundaries for mutual respect, group confidentiality during sessions, and healthy conflict resolution. The references to support this discussion are secondary sources from peer-reviewed articles from scholarly journals.

Individuals who are affiliated with religious communities are less inclined to seek behavioral services from a mental health counselor.  They would prefer to seek counseling from their church leaders for spiritual and mental health assistance rather than undergoing mental health remedies.  Malvia (2023) recommends that patients be advised to adhere to medication management and engage in spiritual counseling.

When establishing psychotherapy for patients, it is crucial to consider legal and ethical considerations.   Cognitive insight, clinical insight, metacognition, and self-awareness.  In psychiatry, insight regarding an illness broadly denotes the patient’s capacity to be consciously aware of the illness, recognize that their symptoms are indicative of mental illness, and understand that these symptoms necessitate treatment.   Cognitive insight is the ability to correct inappropriate interpretations and conclusions by engaging in self-reflectiveness as a mechanism for evaluating one’s symptoms and self-certainty (Martin, 2023).

Metacognition is an additional factor in psychotherapy that encompasses a variety of activities, including the recognition of discrete thoughts, desires, and emotions, the identification of attentional biases, and the integration of these phenomena into a more intricate understanding of oneself and others, which is necessary for navigating psychosocial challenges.  Lastly, self-consciousness, which encompasses the capacity to be the focus of one’s own attention, can be categorized as either internal private self-consciousness or public self-consciousness (Martin,, 2023).

Informed assent is an additional critical component of psychotherapy that must be obtained before the commencement of the treatment.  In order to engage in counseling, therapists must obtain the consent of their parents or guardians.   Confidentiality must be preserved during both individual and group therapy.  Confidentiality must be consistently reinforced and clear guidelines must be established.  Verifying custody of minors and reporting information to the parents or legal guardians are additional legal considerations (An et al., 2023).
