    Demystifying Psychotherapy! Episode 6

    Welcome to Demystifying Psychotherapy!, the National Institute for the Psychotherapies first ever podcast.   Co-hosts are NIP's new Executive Director, Christel MacLean, MBA; and Kenneth A. Frank, PhD, a leading voice in psychotherapy. Join them as they discuss their professional backgrounds and delve into the fascinating world of psychotherapy. Christel came to the position with a Wharton MBA, a decade on Wall Street, and years working as a serial entrepreneur. Her most recent position was Director of Operations feeding NYC's homeless population. While experienced in running organizations, she had very limited experience in the field of psychotherapy, and as a novice, wanted to learn more. Enter Ken, who is a certified psychoanalyst and certified in cognitive behavior therapy. He has written over 60 publications and has lectured extensively on this topic. Ken is Co-Founder and Board Director of NIP, and Co-Director of PIP, NIP's Integrative Training Program. He is also a former Clinical Professor in Psychiatry at Columbia University where he also earned his PhD. In Episode 6, Christel and Ken wrap up their first season of Demystifying Psychotherapy! and explore both Humanistic Therapy and Integrative Therapy. They delve into some examples of humanistic therapies including: person-centered therapy; Gestalt therapy; and Existential therapy. Also, be prepared for real talk about how web based therapy sites may or may not adequately serve the patient; plus takeaways for therapists and patients about how to prepare for giving or receiving the best treatment from your therapist. This episode truly does demystify the inner workings of psychotherapy! Lastly, today is Giving Tuesday! Today, and the days immediately following, are so important to not-for-profits like NIP. It is when we raise the most funds to support our mission.
