Abstract
This chapter explores supportive psychotherapy as an integrative psychotherapy. It explores the patient groups that benefit from supportive psychotherapy, indications for supportive psychotherapy, and the foundations of supportive therapy (multi-axial thinking and classification, therapeutic aims, methods and techniques of supportive psychotherapy, and the therapist’s personality and need for support).
