  • Integrative Psychotherapy

    • There are many approaches to integrating psychotherapeutic techniques.
    • Those approaches are as follows:
    • Common factors approach: The advantage of a common factors approach is the emphasis on therapeutic actions that have been demonstrated to be effective.
    • Theoretical integration: This approach requires integrating theoretical concepts from different approaches.
    • The therapist has a commitment to one theoretical approach, but also is willing to use techniques from other therapeutic approaches.
