Is a philosophy of mental health possible? And what would it look like? Let’s join together and reflect, in front of the mirror. About us: Hello, we’re Giacomo and Cristiano! We are Master’s students in philosophy and cognitive sciences, at the ‘Berlin School of Mind and Brain’, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. Giacomo strives for pursuing a path as a philosopher of mind and mental health. Cristiano dreams of becoming a psychotherapist, one day. Together, we’re committed to cultivating this dialogue, between philosophy and mental health, which has become our mission, and our passion.

#08 What does change mean? Self, identity, and the goal of psychotherapy

The question of all questions: What do we mean when we say that therapy brings about change?

Then, if there are different types of therapy, are there also different kinds of change?

And furthermore, when it comes to the person - "who" is changing? And, where should we start if we want to build the sense a person has of being themselves?
