Affects Psychotherapy
Socioeconomics Affects Psychotherapy
Socioeconomic deprivation has been shown to have a higher prevalence of mental health problems (Finegan et al., 2017). According to one study conducted, lower socioeconomic status contributed to poorer psychological treatment outcomes (Finegan et al., 2017). In another study conducted regarding children, it appeared that parents with lower education and income were more likely to drop out of psychotherapy for their child than children with highly educated parents (Haan et al., 2014). Access to psychotherapy was also related to socioeconomic status and children who lived in poorer areas had less access to treatment than children who lived in affluent neighborhoods (Haan et al., 2014). Socioeconomic status can affect whether a client comes for a psychotherapy session and how comfortable they are with communicating there needs (Haan et al., 2014).
Summary
In conclusion, psychotherapy has a biological basis and is programmed in every individual. Culture, religion, and socioeconomic status affects psychotherapy and each individual’s experience.
