Toward an Integrative Theoretical Basis for Training Psychotherapists
Tóm tắt
The purpose of this paper is to describe a training program for integrative psychotherapy that is based on an as-yet-nonexistent integrative theory of psychotherapy. It is therefore to be considered a “thought experiment.” A partially integrative theory of psychotherapy is presented—a work in progress—which is used as the basis for planning a 3-year postdoctoral training program for advanced psychotherapists. The curriculum would include (1) several courses on specific “pure-form therapies,” (2) core courses in the integrative theory, (3) courses on the application of the integrative theory to a number of different classes of mental disorder, (4) a year of practicum during which the student therapist applies the integrative treatment to a substantial number of patients under supervision, and (5) a year-long internship-like experience during which the treatment will be applied to a much larger base of patients. Students would also attend a therapy-like group to explore feelings regarding the conduct of this therapy and a second case conference group to discuss their cases.
