How is theoretical integration used in the application of integrative psychotherapy?

What will be an ideal response?


Theoretical integration involves combining two or more theories of psychotherapy to create a more comprehensive or more effective approach to treatment and can be done by developing a deep synthesis of a small number of theories or by creating a framework that describes the relationships among several theories. Therapists who want to use theoretical integration will need to expand their understanding of how different theories complement one another and how they can fit together to form a more comprehensive approach to treatment.
