Abstract
Different forms of psychotherapy often construct theories and techniques based on different epistemological frameworks. Because of epistemological conflicts, some psychotherapy seems incompatible with each other. However, the problems encountered in psychotherapy are complex and multifaceted, and each psychotherapy has shown its shortcomings. So many researchers and practitioners were trying to use a combination of treatment techniques and integrate various psychotherapy in a treatment plan. Integrating different schools of psychotherapy requires an epistemological framework that can accommodate different psychotherapy to help them develop their strengths and prevent conflict. This paper proposed an epistemological framework based on system theory and the uncertainty principle. Through this framework, this paper attempted to reinterpret some of the mainstream psychotherapy and identified the underlying factors that are effective in their treatment. Finally, this paper put forward the methods and directions of integrating these psychotherapies into an epistemological framework.
Highlights
This paper proposed an epistemological framework based on system theory and the uncertainty principle
Simon (2006) once proposed that psychotherapists are the core of psychotherapy, and the epistemology and world view of psychotherapists are the core of psychotherapy, which will directly lead to the corresponding therapeutic effect of psychotherapy
Based on the previous epistemological position, I believe that psychotherapy is an understanding of psychological problems based on their belief system and the treatment strategy after deduction based on their understanding
Summary
Simon (2006) once proposed that psychotherapists are the core of psychotherapy, and the epistemology and world view of psychotherapists are the core of psychotherapy, which will directly lead to the corresponding therapeutic effect of psychotherapy. This involves the question of what psychotherapies can be integrated and how to integrate. The goal of this study is not just to bring together different schools of psychotherapy, but to identify the effective factors and provide a new epistemological framework to psychotherapy. To achieve this goal, I need to clarify the epistemological position of this paper in advance
