According to neuroscience, psychotherapy is purely biological treatment. Psychotherapy addresses the way the brain develops, matures and functions. It bases its operations on the principles of both genetics and evolutionary adaptation of the brain. In its applications, psychotherapy aims at deactivating maladaptive mappings of the brain and instils positive and constructive pathways (Javanbakht and Alberini, 2019). It doesn’t act or involve one receptor or molecules and few modulators rather it interacts with all biological phenomena involving complex, interconnected responses of the brain. The profession deals with aligning the whole organism in the constructive pathways and thus must understand the biological principles playing on the organism. For instance, understanding g the functions of the brain are biological. (Fournier and Price, 2014). As the trillions of neurons connect, they map human experiences and memories. Neuronal connections form a large network of circuits in cortex, which collects and define human experiences in consciousness. The conscience forms symbolic forms in the brain. Psychotherapy is coherent with the genetics of individuals. It deals with the troublesome adjustments of the brain in a sequence of their evolution. Psychotherapy shuts down the mismanaged brain mappings and helps the brain to develop new constructive pathways. Our brain keeps track of our memories through a complex neuronal network that has billions and trillions of nervous connections. Interconnected loops of neurons make huge circuits that track and map in the structure of the cortex. As the environments change, all experiences are mapped in the brain as memories (Wheeler, 2014).

 Explain HOW Culture, Religion, and Socioeconomics might influence one’s perspective of the value of Psychotherapy Treatments.

 Culture has a strong impact on our interactions. Culture has a role in our understanding of health and the phenomenon of healing. Culture has a constructive role in framing assumptions within the psychotherapy experience. Different cultures perceive psychotherapy in different ways. In conventional psychotherapy experience, people have a social behavior of discussing their matters with a skilled professional. It involves mutual understanding, confidence, vulnerability, and the probability of change. The basics of psychotherapy in western culture emphasizes independence and self-development.

 Clients to process information and shape judgments use religions and spiritual beliefs. Religion has a major moral impact on behavior, emotions, thought processes, feelings, and experiences that are interconnected with the psychotherapy Knowledge into religion beliefs of the client is therefore important in driving therapeutic. A good therapeutic practice should promote good religious values, which will in turn promote positive belief system, mobilize hope and boost coping abilities of the client. This increase recovery progress and thus success (Holttum, 2014).

 Various aspects of socio-economic status (SES) affect psychotherapeutic success. Clinical reaction based on the socio-economic condition of individuals was not much explained in past but recent studies have proven the impact. The socioeconomic status of the patient has a role to change the perception of both patients himself and psychotherapist. The class or economic condition can affect of the patient’s active issues, main concerns, symptoms of condition and prognosis of ongoing psychotherapy. Clients treatment expectancy; offer social support which are key in overall predicting the client’s positive changes psychotherapeutic sessions.

According to Marken and Carey (2015), psychotherapy also defined as talk therapy is means of supporting individuals suffering from an extensive range of mental health disorders and emotional complications. An exponentially increasing interest in incorporating psychotherapy with the neuroscience has developed influentially during the past 10 years (Marken & Carey, 2015). The understanding of biological foundations of complicated behaviors and human brain along with their maladaptive reactions and the way psychotherapy support psychopathologies declared psychotherapy as a biological treatment (Plakun, 2015). Psychotherapy is regarded as brain therapy that allows individuals to re-elaborate their sense of self through new experiences that entails cognitive, emotional, and internal regulation processing (Marken & Carey, 2015). Similar to all other forms of learning and experience processing, psychotherapy can cause long-term detectable physical modifications in the brain (Marken & Carey, 2015). According to Straub, et al., (2015), psychotherapy has been identified to change activity levels in the prefrontal cortex. The individuals suffering from depression tend to have a high levels of activity in the prefrontal cortex and the individuals who attended interpersonal therapy were identified to have a decline in their prefrontal cortex activity (Straub, et al., 2015).

Influences of Culture, Religion, and Socioeconomics on Personal Perspectives of Psychotherapy Treatments

Psychological suffering implies a culturally situated understanding of a complicated and multidimensional procedure of biopsychosocial variables (Moleiro, 2018). Culture has also been identified to form the models of psychotherapy and psychiatric care and tend to have an impact on each moment and procedure in individuals descriptions of their suffering (Chu, Leino, Pflum, & Sue, 2016). Moreover, culture also tend to establish the credibility or acceptance of types of psychotherapy treatments in the perception of the clients, their families and eventually on adherence to the psychotherapy treatments (Moleiro, 2018).

Religious belief has been identified as significant aspect of principles and values used by individuals to process information and make judgements (Schwarz, 2018). A psychotherapist can boost the capability to determine or understand agonizing, frenzied, or unanticipated incidents by confirming the beliefs and perspective learnings of their clients (Schwarz, 2018). Knowing and validating clients’ belief system improves adherence to psychotherapy and supports to accomplish better results (Captari, et al., 2018). However, incorporating religious dimensions of clients’ lives in psychotherapy demands competence in terms of high standard of awareness, ethics, and abilities for aligning knowledge obtained regarding religious values and beliefs for the benefit of therapeutic procedure (Chu, Leino, Pflum, & Sue, 2016).

Socioeconomics is considered an important aspect of the identity of and individual and it influence the way personal success is perceive (Finegan, Firth, Wojnarowski, & Delgadillo, 2018). Socioeconomic also interrelates with other personality characteristics and tend to have an impact on individuals overall quality of life (Finegan, et al., 2018). It has been identified that individuals from a lower socioeconomic background have a higher tendency of dropping out of the therapy and poor individual perceive psychotherapy as less effective (Levi, Laslo-Roth, & Rosenstreich, 2018). Self/emotion regulation, sensitivity, and mental flexibility are the three main cognitive domains that play crucial role in success of psychotherapy and are impaired because of low socioeconomic status (Levi, et al., 2018).
