The understanding of intentionality in a healing context has been incomplete and confusing. Attempts have been made to describe it as a concrete mental force in healing while healing has been accepted as a nonlocal phenomenon. This paper reviews several definitions and theoretical frameworks of intentionality. It proposes a new integrative theory of intentionality, Intentionality: the Matrix of Healing. The theory proposes definitions, forms, and phases of intentionality, a process of development and mediators that sculpt intentionality in healing. The theory has implications for conceptualizing intentionality and provides a framework for continued exploration of the nature of intentionality in healing for scholars as well as clinicians.

在治疗背景下对意向性的理解一直不完整且令人困惑。人们曾试图将其描述为治疗中一种具体的心理力量，而治疗已被视为一种非局部现象。本文回顾了意向性的几种定义和理论框架。它提出了一种新的意向性综合理论，即《意向性：治疗的矩阵》。该理论提出了意向性的定义、形式和阶段，以及在治疗中塑造意向性的发展过程和调节因素。该理论对意向性的概念化具有启示意义，并为学者和临床医生持续探索治疗中意向性的本质提供了一个框架。
