Therapeutic learning program

The therapeutic learning program (tlp),developed by colby gould, and aronson , add compuer interaction to direct contact with a therapist in a group setting. the TLP is a strutured, 10-session computer- based teratment designed to help clients counter self- doubts that interfere with personal development.
the TLP applies gould's theory of adultdevelopment to unearth 'hot spots',' whereby what first appears to by an adaptive need in fact arises from a developmental issue that arouses, or threatens to arouse, emotinality. intervention aims not  not at simple support or exploration of historical meaning but at clarifying the current meaning of key action a  person  fears to nsertake and encouraging  the patient to go ahead , do what works, and thus unblock natural psychological developmental processes .

of a larg sample of patients in a managed care setting, two thired repoted general reduction in distess with the TLP, and nearly all acknowledged improvement in ther ability to handle the identfied problem. recently ,the TLP achieved gains similar to those of trasitional individual psychotheapy in a controlled exprimental study of 90 clients with a variety of problems. the TLP  has pioneered the path for other effective programs. the next secction samples some of these interactive  programs and  points to their clinical utility.
