HARDER-TO-FIND THERAPIES
It can be especially difficult or confusing to locate therapists with
certain orientations, either because these approaches are less
widespread or because you do not know which kinds of health-care
professionals make the greatest use of them.
Frequently, an effective way to locate an _existential-humanistic
therapist_ or _logotherapist_ is through religious organizations. Call
to ask for the names of ministers, priests, or rabbis with training in
psychotherapy or counseling. These individuals, in turn, will often be
able to put you in touch with either existential-humanistic therapists
or logotherapists who may or may not be affiliated with the religious
organization in question.
_Emotional flooding therapists_ are usually found among psychologists,
whose telephone directory listings will normally indicate whether they
offer one of these therapies. The same is true for psychologists with
experience in _direct decision therapy_.
_Biofeedback therapists_ can be found in private practice; they will
also be found at pain and stress centers (which are often run by
hospitals on an outpatient basis). These offer private or publicly
funded programs to help people with chronic pain or {249}
stress-related difficulties. A number of counseling agencies have
begun to include biofeedback therapists on their staffs.
Biofeedback therapists in private practice, as well as pain and stress
centers, are listed in telephone directories. Try looking under
"Biofeedback Therapy and Training" and under "Psychologists" for those
who indicate that they offer biofeedback.
_Relaxation training_ (and sometimes also meditation) is frequently
offered by biofeedback therapists (as well as by many psychologists and
social workers).
