Journal of Psychotherapy Integration

Aims & Scope

Journal of Psychotherapy Integration primarily publishes original peer-reviewed papers consistent with five major pathways associated with psychotherapy integration: common factors (core elements to effective psychotherapy that transcend a specific orientation)technical eclecticism (application of the best treatment for a specific population and problem)theoretical integration (combining two or more theories and their associated techniques)assimilative integration (theoretical grounding in a single orientation with value added techniques drawn from other orientations)unification (meta-theoretical approaches that place theories, techniques, and principles into holistic frameworks) Empirical studies of integrative psychotherapies targeting specific populations, clinical presentations/disorders, settings (e.g., integrated primary care), or developments in the broader fields of psychology and psychiatry (e.g., psychobiology) are also strongly encouraged.
