Psychotherapy Integration

The theories that you studied this quarter have many similarities and differences. The task of the therapist is to decide how to integrate certain features of each theory in order to work effectively with clients. Review the basic philosophies and key concepts of all the theories found on pages 432–434 of your Corey text. For this discussion, think about how you might integrate theories. In your post, answer the following questions:

  • In developing your integrative approach to counseling, what factors would you most consider?
