Psychotherapy in a changing postindustrial society.

Psychotherapy in a postindustrial society will differ markedly from that practiced in the past and present. It will be necessary for psychotherapists to comprehend the interrelationships of macrosocial as well as microsocial forces in relation to intrapsychic dynamics. In a parallel fashion the psychotherapist will find it necessary to be aware of the interrelationship of biodynamic and psychodynamic processes. This paper outlines the sociologic and technologic forces that are likely to mold the postindustrial era and their relationship to psychologic stress and illness as they will be in the period 2000-2025.
