Editorial Reviews

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 structures of psychotherapy integration, the volume 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 volume concludes with a section on training and a look at future directions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This edition can inspire us to move even further to determine the underlying mechanisms of change across approaches. Bravo!" — Clara E. Hill, PhD, University of Maryland

"What are therapists actually doing and how does therapy work? Norcross and Goldfried have advanced the field of integrative psychotherapy to new heights and this excellent book brings it all together.
As we move toward recognizing the importance of common processes and trans-theoretical approaches, this comprehensive volume will prove to be an excellent guide to practice and research. We should keep in mind that clients are less interested in brands than in what is going to help them. This superb volume will help clinicians and researchers accomplish this important task." — Robert L. Leahy, PhD, Director, American Institute for Cognitive Therapy
