This is an alphabetical List of Psychotherapies. It is an incomplete list and new or minor approaches are still being added.
See the main article Psychotherapy for a description of what psychotherapy is and how it developed.
This list contains some approaches that may not call themselves a psychotherapy but have a similar aim, of improving mental health and well being through talk and other means of communication.
In the 20th century a great number of psychotherapies appeared in western societies.
