Psychotherapy means treatment of the heart and soul. Medicine appeared, and psychotherapy was used. Psychotherapy methods were widely used in the East and were one of the most widely used methods for treating patients.

Great scholars such as Abu Ali Ibn Sina, Abu Bakr al-Razi, Ismail Jurjani, Al-Karvaki Khazoraspi used psychotherapeutic methods in their treatment methods. Patients who were bedridden with nervous and mental illnesses recovered from their visits and the words they used and left on their feet. The word is a great power! The main goal of psychotherapy is to be able to find and use words. Being able to use words to treat patients is an art. The word is the main weapon of the medical psychologist, and it should be used very carefully when treating patients. A little enthusiasm can backfire. A medical psychologist conducts verbal psychodiagnostics and conducts verbal psychotherapy. No other medical profession has such a great opportunity.

The method of psychotherapy was widely used in Europe in the 17th century by the Viennese doctor and scientist Mesmer. Hypnosis method in the treatment of patients in medicine in the XVIII-XIX centuries J. Sharko, J. Brad, Z. Freud, V.M. Widely used by the Bekhterevs. The French scientist J. Charcot, who made a great contribution to the development of neurology, widely used the method of psychotherapy in the treatment of nervous diseases.

The process of psychotherapy is the main object of the psychology of the patient and the doctor. When conducting psychotherapy, the patient's mental state, temperament, factors that caused the disease, and the general condition of the patient must be taken into account. A doctor without psychotherapeutic experience has difficulty treating a patient. should be treated using psychological methods. Of course, it is not necessary for only a medical psychologist to deal with this work. As much as possible, it is desirable that the number of doctors who treat the patient is small. The famous doctor H.F. Gufelyand (1762-1836) said so. "One doctor is good, two can be tolerated, but three is terrible!" With this, he wants to say that if the number of doctors treating the patient increases, it will be difficult for the patient to recover. Doctors can be called for consultation, but it is advisable to have only one treating doctor.

Let's talk about iatrogenics here. Iatrogeny refers to the appearance of symptoms of a disease that did not exist in the patient before, or from medical procedures. As a result, iatropathy develops. For example, a patient's arm or leg "does not work" after an injection, treatment for a non-existent heart disease after wrong medical conclusions, etc. Examples of iatropathies are given in previous chapters.

Any psychotherapy should be carried out with great skill. Psychotherapy should be developed depending on the patient's personality, temperament and type of illness. Psychotherapeutic procedures of a reputable doctor are successful. Another advantage of psychotherapy is its trust and commitment. Psychotherapeutic procedures can be continued for a long or short time, depending on the condition of the patient, with a thorough study of the anamnesis of the disease. Treatments can be prolonged, monotonous, or statements such as "You will have to be treated for a long time" can detract from positive results.

Here we quote the words of Z. Freud, which are still the cause of debates and discussions: "Regardless of the outcome, the treatment process must be completed at the predetermined time." Therefore, the duration of treatment should be determined in advance and the patient should know about it.

In medical practice, there are cases when the patient believes in the power of the doctor, but does not believe that he will be cured, and he instills in his mind that the patient is incurable and the pain is severe. This is especially true for neurosis and hypochondria. Due to the ongoing chronic illness of the patient, his family members are also suffering. In many cases, the cause of a patient's long-lasting neurosis or depression is disagreements in the family, especially with the spouse. At such times, a stable "negative dominant focus" has appeared in the cortex of the large hemispheres of the brain, and in order to destroy it, it is necessary to create a stronger "positive dominant focus". This dominant focus must be strong enough to destroy any negative dominant focus. It depends a lot on the level of knowledge and skills of a doctor or medical psychologist.

Psychotherapy can be conducted with a group of several patients. In such cases, we talk about collective hypnosis. "During a session with many people, patients spread hypnosis to each other, and its effect increases even more (V.M. Bekhterev, 1915). A hypnotherapist who wants to treat a patient with hypnosis should pay attention to what he repeats a lot when he tells his complaints and use it."

Every person has a psychological portrait. You create it, not an artist. It is this psychological portrait that determines the attitude of others towards you. How to create a psychological portrait? If you are aware of all human qualities and can use them wisely, you can create a beautiful psychological portrait of yourself. Be courteous to people by following the rules of etiquette and ethics, be exemplary at home and at work, think through every word, stand by your own words, be patient and content, respect the elders, honor the children and do Being loyal to one's work, honoring parents, being a family man, being open-minded - these are the elements of a psychological portrait. The only difficulty is keeping it for the rest of your life. A psychological portrait differs from a portrait drawn by artists in that it does not need to be seen, because it is drawn in the hearts of all people who know you. No one can delete it except you.

They say that "a person with low immunity will immediately catch a cold." We all know that. Have you heard of psychological immunity? The psychological immunity of people who complain, cry, and because of this immediately get into a fight, is extremely low. Such people immediately suffer from neurosis, fall into depression, and it is very difficult to get out of them without psychological help. How to increase psychological immunity? If the body's immunity is strengthened by physical training, the psychological immunity is strengthened by training the mind. So what to do? In what ways is psychological immunity strengthened? First of all, a person should be knowledgeable. Scientific does not mean having a higher education. If everyone, especially young people, reads books on education, listens to instructive stories, listens to conversations of people with life experience, follows the advice of adults, psychological immunity is formed. Such people become strong characters. It is very difficult to offend them, they are very resistant to the blows of life, they achieve their goals with determination. Any conclusion made on the basis of knowledge, skills and life experience will strengthen psychological immunity, and no one can extinguish a person with a strong heart. Everyone admires such people, everyone tries to be like them, even older people try to join their conversation.

If you are reading these verses now and you are in your 30s or 40s, don't feel sorry. It's not too late. You can work on your psychological immunity starting today. For this, read books such as the lives of great people, the book of the wise, the treasure of wisdom, the mind and spirit, and spiritual education. Then take a look at your previous life, where did you make a mistake, where did you get hurt and why did you get hurt, maybe you yourself are to blame for getting into this situation, etc. I believe that you will become a stronger person by working on yourself, and this PERSONAL defender will be your immunity!
