Handbook of Psychotherapy Integration

Bys: Goldried, Marvin R. and Norcross, John C.

This volume, originally published in 1992 by Basic Books, provides for the first time a comprehensive state-of-the-art description of therapeutic integration and its clinical practices by the leading proponents of the movement. After presenting the concepts, history, research, and belief structure of psychotherapy integration, the book considers two exemplars of theoretical integration, technical eclecticism, and common factors. The authors review integrative therapies for specific disorders, including anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder, along with integrative treatment modalities, such as combining individual and family therapy and integrating pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. The book concludes with a section on training and a look at future directions.

Really good read

This is an excellent book about the integration of various styles and forms of therapy. Good examples of how others have done it. Discussed the controversy with it as well.

good choice

This is the kind of text that people will likely want to hold onto and include in their personal library. This book is a good one to pick up for anyone who is either in training to become or is a therapist looking to continue their education in the area. The area of psychology seems to be moving in the direction of integration and this text help to provide an understanding of what exactly this is and how to achieve this with almost any area.
