Integrative Therapy and Training: A Commentary
Tóm tắt
The authors in this series present innovative training programs in integrative psychotherapy. Although they approach integration from different starting points, they converge in their emphasis on principle-based thinking as it applies to understanding the process of change and the selection of interventions. What is not made as clear is how to conceptualize clients' problems from this principle-based level of abstraction. In this paper, the strategy of pattern identification is discussed as one approach. Together, these approaches to training teach clinicians to think at a level of abstraction that provides a structure for integrating theory and technique from a constantly evolving knowledge base so that a wide variety of clinical problems can be addressed.
