Adlerian Feminist Integrative Theory of Counseling

Abstract

The discipline of psychotherapy originated a little over a century ago. Throughout its history, the narrative of psychotherapy has been characterized by a gradual and ongoing effort to comprehend human anguish and discover effective treatments for it. The new treatments from this conference are amalgamations of ideas and approaches characteristic of at least two psychotherapies. These novel treatments are often known as integrative psychotherapies, and there are several models available. The formal practice of integrating different psychotherapy approaches began in 1983 with the establishment of the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration (SEPI). Primary considerations were comprehending the interconnection between theory, method, and experience. Recent concerns have focused on the classification of different methods for integrating psychotherapy, the involvement of the client, and the connection between psychotherapy integration and evidence-based practice. The major focus of evidence-based therapy is of utmost importance. However, it is crucial to adopt a wide definition of evidence and stress the role of the client, the therapeutic relationship, and the integration of treatment techniques. This article focuses on the important modern integrative techniques and aims to explain their similarities and consistencies in 4 modalities of psychotherapy, namely Adlerian, Feministic, Person-Centered, and Behavior Therapy.
