John Heron, a humanistic psychologist, developed a simple but comprehensive model of the six types of intervention a doctor, counsellor or therapist could use with a patient or client:
- 1. Prescriptive
- 2. Informative
- 3. Confronting
- 4. Cathartic
- 5. Catalytic
- 6. Supportive
Each type of intervention can be looked at separately during training sessions as options throughout the consultation.
