The Movement toward Psychotherapy Integration
Psychotherapy integration uses different approaches to understand psychotherapy to know what knowledge can be obtained from other perspectives. This is based on understanding theory and techniques using different approaches to see what can be learned by integrating different theories. Technical integration involves the incorporation of technology to deal with different clinical problems depending on individual specific problems. Psychotherapists prefer to use different theoretical models for the results to be more effective. The common goal in psychotherapy is to get together selected theories as well as techniques and see what they can learn or introduce.
There is no single approach in psychotherapy that can be appropriate to all patients in solving their problems. The approach used can either be adequate or inadequate depending on the specific problems it is intended to solve. Although different approaches and rationales are used in psychotherapy, the outcomes produced are similar. Psychotherapeutic approaches share common factors such as therapists’ ability to inspire hope to the clients and give emotional experience to get a remedy to traumatic experiences in their life.
Psychotherapy integration uses an individualized approach depending on the need of every person. It allows every client the opportunity to adapt to the therapy depending on the distinctive characteristics that therapists observe on the client. The client participates actively in the therapy provided and the therapist can adjust the approach used depending on the characteristics as well as preferences of the client. When there is a collaboration between psychotherapists in different fields of experience, the background of their knowledge would be unified which will result in success in the services offered to their clients. The integration of psychotherapeutic practice is desirable and the limitations can be overcome when psychotherapists work together towards a common goal.
