What is Attack therapy?
“Attack therapy” is a controversial form of therapy that involves aggressive or confrontational methods, often intended to shock or intimidate the person receiving the therapy. This type of therapy is not a recognized or legitimate form of therapy by the mainstream psychological community and is often considered unethical.
Some forms of attack therapy have been associated with physical abuse and even torture, and can cause lasting psychological harm to the person receiving the therapy. Examples of attack therapy include shouting at, insulting, or physically confronting the person being treated.
It is important to note that legitimate forms of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or psychodynamic therapy, do not use attack therapy methods. Instead, these forms of therapy are designed to help individuals overcome psychological issues in a safe, supportive, and ethical manner.
