Psychotherapy has been influenced by several schools of thought, but the most widely recognized are typically categorized into four main approaches:

  1. Psychodynamic (originating from Freud's work)
  2. Behavioral (focused on behavior modification and learning principles)
  3. Cognitive (centered on thought processes and cognitive restructuring)
  4. Humanistic (emphasizing individual potential and self-actualization)

Thus, the answer would be Four.
