“…However, there is also a small but growing body of research on integrative treatments for other populations and modalities. A few integrative treatments for children and adolescents have been developed and tested (see Krueger & Glass, 2013, for a review). Integrative treatment for older adults is another promising area for psychotherapy integration.…”

Integration has become an important and influential movement within psychotherapy practice, reflected by the fact that many treatment providers now identify as integrative. However, integration has not had as great an influence on psychotherapy research. The goal of this paper is to highlight the growing body of research on psychotherapy integration, and to identify future directions for research that may strengthen the integration movement as well as the field of psychotherapy as a whole. We first summarize the past 25 years of research on integration, with a focus on four approaches to integration: theoretical integration, technical eclectic, common factors, and assimilative integration. Next, we identify directions of research within these four areas that could strengthen and support integrative practice. We then propose ways in which the perspective of integrationists could contribute to psychotherapy research in the critical areas of harmful effects, therapist effects, practice-oriented research, and training. We end this paper by suggesting that a greater collaboration between integrationists and psychotherapy researchers will help to create a unified landscape of knowledge and action that will benefit all participants and advance the field.

“…In particular, therapists who are self-aware of their own cultural identities, biases, power, and privilege, understand their own cultural subjectivity, communicate cultural empathy, and facilitate empowerment can create interactions in which clients experience an intrapersonal feeling of being understood and empowered, thus facilitating cultural competency and effective treatment and engagement. This model is timely in light of recent increasing emphasis on psychotherapy integration and common factors (e.g., client and therapist variables, including empathy and the therapeutic relationship) in both research and practice, which in part relates to heightened awareness of limitations of "pure form" therapies, particularly among diverse populations (Cardemil, 2010;Krueger & Glass, 2013;Norcross, 2002Norcross, & 2005. Indeed, the culturally competent therapist is inherently "integrative" in their efforts to adapt and incorporate therapeutic approaches to address multiple facets of each client's unique psychological and sociocultural needs and experiences.…”

Over the past four decades, the mental health field has struggled to define cultural competency and its efficacy in psychotherapy. Recent cultural competency and treatment adaptation studies have pointed to predominant evidence that cultural competency yields positive experiences and outcomes in treatment. What remains largely unknown, however, is why cultural competency works. Existing literature provides guidance about knowledge, skills, and awareness for therapists to attain, and types and areas of psychotherapy to adapt to achieve cultural competency, but few have given a theoretical understanding explaining why these efforts would yield clinical improvement. In this paper, we present a thorough review of several decades of cultural competency and psychotherapy literature for the purpose of answering the question of how and why cultural competency works. Our literature analysis yielded 3 theoretical principles that explain the mechanisms of cultural competency. Cultural competency works because it creates: (a) a contextual match with clients' external realities; (b) an experiential match in the microsystem of the therapeutic relationship or framework; and (c) an intrapersonal feeling of being understood and empowered within the client. These theoretical principles unify a broad and variegated cultural competency and psychotherapy literature, and provide a common foundation for understanding the basic principles and mechanisms of culturally competent psychotherapy. A case example is provided to demonstrate clinical practice implications. The proposed theoretical model is preliminary with future research needed to empirically test these principles as mediating variables in the process of cultural competency in psychotherapy.

“…For example, recently a much-explored domain has been the convergence between the psychodynamic and cognitive–behavioral approaches in mentalization therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy, respectively (Swenson & Choi-Kain, 2015). Another example can be found in the treatment of children and adolescents where significant trends toward integration have been identified within cognitive–behavioral therapies (Krueger & Glass, 2013).…”

Although integration has been formally influencing the field of psychotherapy since the 1930s, its impact gained significant momentum during the 1980s. Practical, theoretical, and scientific reasons help to explain the growing influence of integration in psychotherapy. The field of psychotherapy is characterized by many challenges which integration may change into meaningful opportunities. Nonetheless, many obstacles remain when seeking to advance integration. To appreciate the strength of integration in psychotherapy we describe an integrative, comprehensive approach to service delivery, research, and training. We then discuss the role of integration in the future of psychotherapy.
