Abstract :
Main component of many of the psychotherapies is the analysis of aspects of psychological functioning that patients are initially unaware of or deny. To the extent that this characterization of psychotherapy is not solely a means to an end but in human flourishing. In this book review, we describe the latest concern of ethical visions in psychotherapy. We conclude that, firstly, the supplement of standard measurement in psychotherapy likely facing many challenges. Secondly, a significant necessity to involve numeric field data to support the exposition regarding the percentage of psychoterapists who are presumed have not completely applied the utmost main goal which is personal flourishing should be, and thirdly, more elaboration is needed to explain the differences between factual field data observation and the ideal theory regarding personal flourishing in ethical psychotherapy by different background therapists.
