Psychotherapy is the treatment of mental and emotional disorders using psychological methods. This form of treatment does not include physiological interventions, such as drug therapy or electrotherapy, although it may be used in combination with such methods. Psychotherapists, like all other medical practitioners, are required to treat their patients with a certain standard of care. If they fail, and if the patient is injured, they may be held financially responsible for those injuries.
