Coherence Therapy: Description, Effectiveness, and Benefits

Coherence therapy, formerly known as depth-oriented brief therapy (DOBT), is a type of psychotherapy that derives from depth psychology, which refers to the study of the unconscious aspects of the human experience. Practitioners of coherence therapy believe that the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind have essential roles in a person’s psychological well-being. The treatment is based on neurobiological principles and constructivist theory (i.e., the theory that people construct their own knowledge) and is used to address a broad range of concerns.
