The issue of choosing between a symptomatic and a personal emphasis in psychotherapy has always been one of the major bones of contention between adherents of different approaches in the field. As it becomes increasingly clear that none of the major schools will achieve supremacy, the drive to incorporate whatever is best in any orientation becomes more pronounced. Therapists often find that the therapeutic alliance may be damaged if they neglect either their patients' symptomatic complaints or pressing developmental tasks. The integrative focus is an attempt to coordinate these two elements in therapy so that they may enhance each other instead of competing with each other. The focus is so designed as to help unify the treatment, increase motivation for therapy, and register deeply in the patient's mind. Though only a technical aid, the integrative focus may show one of the ways by which integration does not diffuse, but rather steadies and enriches the therapeutic beam.
在心理治疗中，是侧重于症状还是个人，这一问题一直是该领域不同方法的支持者之间的主要争论焦点之一。随着越来越明显的是，没有一个主要学派能够占据主导地位，将任何一种取向中最好的东西纳入其中的动力就变得更加明显。治疗师常常发现，如果他们忽视患者的症状性抱怨或紧迫的发展任务，治疗联盟可能会受到损害。整合焦点试图在治疗中协调这两个要素，使它们相互促进而不是相互竞争。这种焦点的设计旨在帮助统一治疗、增强治疗动机，并在患者心中留下深刻印象。虽然只是一种技术辅助手段，但整合焦点可能展示了一种整合不会分散，反而能稳定和丰富治疗光芒的方式。
