“…A number of surveys have been camed out in the USA to explore the theoretical orientations of therapists (Beitman et al, 1984;Garfield & Kurtz, 1974;Jayaratne, 1982;Jensen et al, 1990;Kelly, 1961;Norcross 81 Prochaska, 1982;Norcross et al, 1989). These surveys highlight eclecticism as the modal theoretical 0306-9885/99/030405-10 0 1999 Careers Research and Advisory Centre 406 Hen y Hollanders &John McLeod orientation of American practitioners, with between 27% and 70% of all those surveyed identifying themselves as eclectic (Lazarus et al, 1992) While it is clear that eclecticism and theoretical integration have also had an impact on counsellors in Britain, few studies of theoretical orientation comparable to the American surveys have been undertaken here. Dryden (1984) remarked on the 'dearth of research carried out into the practices and self-description of British therapists' (p. 341) and called for 'much needed' research to be done.…”

There is an increasing trend for counsellors to report that their practice is based on a combination of methods and approaches, rather than being grounded in a @me' model. However, there has been a lack of research on the proportion of counsellors in Britain who define themselves as eclectic or integrative in orientation. This study reports on a survey of eclecticism and integrationism in counsellors and other therapists in Britain. Results indicate that as many as 87% of counsellors can be regarded as taking a 'non-pure-form' approach of some kind. Issues in interpreting data on counsellors' self-reports of orientation are discussed, and implications for training and further research are outlined.

“…Zo zijn voor de behandeling van depressieve klachten zowel cognitieve als gedragstherapeutische benaderingen effectief (Albersnagel, Boelens, Debats & Emmelkamp, 1989;Boelens, 1990), terwijl ook pillen, naast het praten, een heilzame werking kunnen hebben (Van den Hoofdakker & Van Berkestijn, 1989). Als reactie hierop leggen eclectische benaderingen de nadruk op de unieke behoeften van de patie¨nt (Beutler, 1989(Beutler, , 1991Beutler & Consoli, 1993;Norcross, 1991;Lazarus, Beutler & Norcross, 1992). Persons (1991) heeft haar hoop gevestigd op een vertaling van de patie¨ntgege-vens in een case formulation, die theorieneutraal zou zijn en eenstemmigheid over de patie¨nt en de klacht zou kunnen bewerkstelligen.…”

In dit artikel beschrijven wij een onderzoek naar de behandelvoorstellen van ruim vijftig praktiserende psychotherapeuten voor vier (papieren) depressieve patie¨nten. In overeenstemming met onze verwachting bleken de voorstellen sterker samen te hangen met de theoretische achtergrond van de therapeuten dan met de patie¨ntkenmerken, en zelfs sterker dan met de door de therapeuten zelf geformuleerde argumenten en met de klachten en factoren die zij van toepassing achtten op de patie¨nten. Niettemin verklaarde de theoretische achtergrond slechts weinig, zodat de systematiek in deze behandelvoorstellen nog onvoldoende verduidelijkt is. InleidingEen psychotherapeut die bij de indicatiestelling een voorstel doet aan de patie¨nt over de aanpak van de klachten, kan daarbij geen standaardprocedures volgen of terugvallen op handboeken. Er is nog steeds geen sluitende meta-theorie over het indicatiestellen (Leuzinger, 1981;Beutler, 1991) en ook ontbreekt het nog aan empirisch gefundeerde regels voor het voorstellen van bepaalde behandelmethoden aan patie¨nten met bepaalde kenmerken (Grawe, 1981). De bevinding van Luborsky, CritsChristoph, Mintz en Auerbach (1988) dat er geen betekenisvolle verschillen lijken te zijn in uitkomst tussen de belangrijkste systemen van psychotherapie, zou aan deze lacune debet kunnen zijn. Zo zijn voor de behandeling van depressieve klachten zowel cognitieve als gedrags-

“…Lazarus, Beutler and Norcross (1992) suggest that the blending of concepts and methods from the various psychotherapy schools has been conducted in "an arbitrary, subjective, if not capricious manner" (p. 11). They argue that haphazard eclecticism should be replaced by particular organizing principles that are needed to guide therapists.…”

Update effective November 25, 2015If a paper is unpublished, the author may distribute it on the Internet or post it on a website but should label the paper with the date and with a statement that the paper has not (yet) been published and is not therefore the authoritative document of record. (Example: "Draft version 1.3, 1/5/16. This paper has not been peer reviewed. Please do not copy or cite without author's permission.") Authors of articles published in APA journals -the authoritative document, i.e., peer reviewed publication of record -may post a prepublication copy of the final manuscript, as accepted for publication as a word processing file, on their personal website, their employer's server, in their institution's repository, reference managers (e.g., Mendeley) and author social networks (e.g., Academia.edu and ResearchGate) after it is accepted for publication.The following conditions would prevail: The posted prepublication copy of the manuscript must carry an APA copyright notice and include a link to the authoritative document on the APA website using the article's digital object identifier (DOI) that may be found on the first page of the published article, in the upper right-hand corner.  Further, the posted prepublication copy of the manuscript must include the following statement: "This article may not exactly replicate the authoritative document published in the APA journal. It is not the copy of record."  APA does not provide electronic copies of the authoritative document for authors to post online, and authors are not permitted to scan in the APA typeset version of the published article.  Authors are not permitted to download and subsequently post the APA typeset version of the published article (i.e., the authoritative document of record).

AbstractThis qualitative study investigated the experiences of eight counselors as they introduce multiple intelligences theory and activities into therapy with adult clients. As research on the application of multiple intelligences in the field of education has revealed many positive psychological benefits, this study explores possible therapeutic benefits from incorporating multiple intelligences within therapy. Semi-structured interviews conducted three months post multiple intelligences training, were transcribed and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The major themes that emerged included perceptions of enhanced therapeutic alliances, more effective professional work, experiences of increased confidence, positive client response to a strength-based approach, positive client responses to a multiple intelligences preference survey, and positive outcomes from the use of music. Implications include the value of further long-term research on the benefits of using a multiple intelligence approach to therapy as an integrating meta-theory, and instructing coun...
