Psychotechnics, psychological or psychotherapeutic techniques — specific techniques within the framework of the psychotherapeutic process, determined by the parameters of the direction or method (according to E. Eidemiller in the book: Brown J., Christensen D. Theory and practice of family psychotherapy. St. Petersburg: Peter, 2001. P. ten).
It should be said that techniques often do not have specific features that allow them to be attributed to one or another method of psychotherapy. For example, working with chairs applies equally to both analytical psychodrama and Gestalt therapy, and psychosculpturing is used both in analytical psychodrama and in family psychotherapy (Satir V., 1988; Rarr R., 1976).
