Zusammenfassung:Therapeutic integration has increased in recent years with respect to the helping profession and training within the field. The integrative features of therapy have widened in their scope to address the needs of the individual, family, and couple. Models of integrative adherence provide flexible and innovative ways for practitioners to utilize an assortment of clinical tools that best meet the needs of the client. Consequently, the multitheoretical psychotherapy integration model (MTP) offers an integration of unitary models and applied conceptualization skills to attend to the presenting problems faced by couples' and family therapists. The authors provide an overview of psychotherapeutic integration and offer an application of the MTP to family therapy. Implications for professional practice and recommendations are provided.
