I was asking my therapist this last session. I had always thought of him as a CBT therapist with the wisdom to wrap it in a nice relationship based therapy for my benefit. Although there is also strong dose of eastern philosophy.

But he says that his first job was with a very psychodynamic therapist, his second with a family systems therapist, and then CBT and I believe addictions. So he calls himself the ubiquitous "eclectic".

He never uses the CBT standard terminology with me... anymore. He says it's more important that the message be heard than it is to say the message in a certain way. Which is his nice way of saying I was way too hardheaded for straight CBT. The emphasis is on current functioning, but inevitably history played a role in molding my current responses, and deserves a role in fine tuning them.
