many drug treatments for psychopathology will have a palliative effect (i.e. reduce the severity of
symptoms and so alleviate distress), but they may only rarely provide the client with insight into
their problems.
The treatment that is provided for a psychopathology will depend on at least two factors:
(1) the theoretical orientation and training of the therapist, and
(2) the nature of the psychopathology
continuing professional development (CPD)
must demonstrate that they regularly update their knowledge of recent developments in
treatment techniques.
treatments may be chosen largely on the basis that they are effective at treating a certain type of
psychopathology. In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
recommends treatments for specific psychopathologies on the basis that their effectiveness is
evidence-based and empirically supported by scientifically rigorous research
