“…Likewise, our findings support previous work by Owen et al (2013) demonstrating that patient ratings of both PI and CB techniques can demonstrate a relationship with outcomes. These results provide support for a technical integration model of psychotherapy, such as assimilative integration (Gold & Stricker, 2012; Stricker & Gold, 1996), in which techniques are drawn from two or more existing psychotherapeutic systems and applied on a case-by-case basis.…”

Little research has examined what patients find most helpful with regard to their improvements during treatment. This study explores what specific therapeutic interventions people find most helpful regardless of the type of therapy they receive, and specifically focuses on patients seeking treatment for anxiety symptoms as their primary concern. Data was collected from 34 outpatients reporting high levels of distress related to anxiety symptoms. Patients rated the helpfulness of different psychodynamic–interpersonal and cognitive–behavioral therapist interventions during their treatment, and these ratings were examined for a relationship to overall improvement. Significant findings included exploring wishes, fantasies, dreams or early memories (r = .472, p = .005); exploring uncomfortable feelings (r = .443, p = .009); focusing on future life situations (r = .428, p = .012); feelings and perceptions are linked to past experiences (r = .400, p = .019); practicing behaviors learned in therapy between sessions (r = .345, p = .046); and providing information on symptoms, treatment, disorder (r = .341, p = .048). Trends toward significance between the rated helpfulness of the following therapist interventions with improvement in their therapy included providing explicit advice or direct suggestion (r = .338, p = .051) and exploring alternative understanding of patient experiences (r = .320, p = .065). Our findings suggest there are specific techniques in both psychodynamic–interpersonal and cognitive–behavioral approaches important during the change process of patients suffering from anxiety problems. This supports future research examining transtheoretical or integrative approaches in the psychotherapy of anxiety.

“…With this in mind, psychologists may benefit from training in additional frameworks to obtain a broader scope of resources through which to understand their experience of uncertainty and conceptualize and treat ambiguous client presentations. In particular, the framework of psychotherapy integration may be especially useful due to its emphasis on an individualized approach to treatment and the value of techniques across therapeutic models (Gold, 2013).…”

Considerable research has been conducted regarding the tolerance of uncertainty experienced by health care professionals in the early stages of their career. Comparatively little is known of the experience of uncertainty late in one’s career. Moreover, sparse research has been conducted with psychologists; whose roles abound with uncertainty relating to ethical, diagnostic and treatment issues. This qualitative study interviewed 11 late-career psychologists, exploring their experiences of uncertainty and the strategies utilized throughout their early, mid, and late-career stages. Transcripts were analyzed using narrative analysis to identify common themes in the participant’s stories. Findings suggest that uncertainty was experienced on an ongoing basis throughout the course of participant’s careers; however, the source and content of uncertainty differed according to career stage. Participants described implementing a range of evolving strategies to manage uncertainty. Participants indicated that in their late-career stage, uncertainty became less threatening, allowing for the acceptance of not knowing. On the basis of these findings, recommendations are made to inform training and supervision protocols and provides key points for practicing psychologists to consider in their approach to uncertainty throughout the duration of their career.

“…However, boundaries between pathways can be quite fuzzy (cf. Gold & Stricker, 2020), such that, in real time, integration occurring in accordance with one of these pathways can imperceptibly intersect with elements of one or more other integrative pathways. Moreover, as is discussed in greater detail below, responsiveness is the true hallmark of psychotherapy integration (Boswell et al, 2021).…”

“…Sound judgment and decision making. Gold and Stricker (2020) pointed out that "the most common therapist errors that are unique to integrative models are the failure to make an integrative shift when it is called for and too rapid use of an integrative shift when ongoing work within one theoretical and technical framework is a better fit" (p. 461). This observation speaks to the vital role of judgment and decision making about the need for, valueadded gain from, and/or timing of an integrative shift.…”
