Psychotherapy integration has recently received considerable attention among behavior therapists. Although the wisdom of ecumenicism has been questioned, behavior therapy has often been credited with flexibility and modification of practice based on experimental and clinical research. From this perspective, the two central criteria for psychotherapy integration are inclusion of proven therapeutic elements and exclusion of unproven ones. Rationales for the importance of both criteria are discussed, and an analogy to the development of modern medicine is suggested. Formal acceptance of the proposed criteria would place psychotherapy integration in a proactive position to censor fee-for-service clinical practice not grounded in basic clinical or experimental research.
心理治疗整合最近在行为治疗师中受到了相当多的关注。尽管普世主义的智慧受到了质疑,但行为疗法常常因其基于实验和临床研究的灵活性及实践调整而受到赞誉。从这个角度来看,心理治疗整合的两个核心标准是纳入已证实的治疗要素和排除未证实的要素。文中讨论了这两个标准重要性的基本原理,并提出了与现代医学发展的类比。正式接受所提议的标准将使心理治疗整合处于主动审查不以基础临床或实验研究为依据的按服务收费临床实践的地位。
