Integration of Psychodynamic and Behavioral Psychotherapies

Conceptual versus Empirical Syntheses

  • Chapter
Psychoanalytic Therapy and Behavior Therapy

Abstract

Integrationism refers to the combination of alternative views or conceptual positions into a unified whole. In the context of clinical psychology, several areas can be identified in which alternative and seemingly conflicting conceptual positions are undergoing integration. Efforts toward integration might be viewed as a pervasive ecumenical spirit or heightened scholarship among professionals whose views have been in opposition. However, underlying the spirit of compromise and openness is the stark realization that simple answers to major questions and narrow conceptual positions do not begin to explain current evidence in many areas of research. The complexity of the findings in many areas within clinical psychology have helped foster an increased receptivity to integrationism and eclecticism.
