The three general approaches to treatment of mental disorders include insight, or talk therapies, behaviour therapies relying on the use of learning principles, and biomedical therapies.

Insight Therapies

Psychological treatments that focus on increasing patients' understanding of themselves and their issues.

Behaviour Therapies

A broad range of techniques used to change maladaptive patterns of behavior through the application of learning principles.

Biomedical Therapies
