Abstract: Psychiatry in Thailand has undergone a major revolution during the past two decades to become an important member of the Thai healthcare system. The rapid progression in psychopharmacology seems to have obscured other treatment modalities. However, medication alone cannot overcome pain and miseries of life. Psychiatrists are special from other specialties in medicine by their understanding of the human mind and behavior with the special knowledge and skill of psychotherapy. In this article the author discussed of some important aspects of psychotherapy in Thailand such as the therapeutic setting, patients' characteristics, the diagnostic interview, patient selection, therapeutic modalities, and the goal of psychotherapy. While patients are encouraged to achieve independence, a balanced approach should be considered to prevent any disruption or alienation of the patient’s most important supporting system-the family.
