Which of the following is NOT considered a type of psychotherapy?

  1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  2. Play Therapy

  4. Psychoanalysis

The correct answer is: Meditation

Psychotherapy is a mental health treatment focused on helping individuals with emotional or behavioral problems. It typically involves talking with a therapist to better understand and manage these difficulties. While CBT, play therapy, and psychoanalysis are all considered forms of psychotherapy, meditation is a mindfulness and relaxation practice that is not considered a type of psychotherapy. Unlike the other options, meditation is not a guided form of treatment for emotional or behavioral issues and does not involve talking with a therapist. Therefore, C is the correct answer and the other options are all forms of psychotherapy.
