Abstract
The modal theoretical orientation among mental health professionals, integrative therapy, involves the synthesis of diverse methods and models to enhance patient success. Integrative therapies take different routes—theoretical integration, technical eclecticism, common factors, and assimilative integration—but consistently search for new ways of conducting mental health treatment that go beyond the confines of single schools. This entry outlines the history and objectives of integrative therapy, reviews its prevalence and central forms, and traces its research evidence. The entry concludes by outlining several directions for psychotherapy integration, which will assuredly remain a vital contributor to mental health services in forthcoming decades.
