A casebook of psychotherapy integration.An Integrative Perspective on the Anxiety Disorders.

A casebook of psychotherapy integration.: An Integrative Perspective on the Anxiety Disorders. Over the past 2 decades, I have developed an integrative perspective on the anxiety disorders. The term perspective in this context refers to two interrelated theories, an integrative etiological theory of anxiety disorders and an integrative psychotherapy for anxiety disorders. This division is based on the assumption that an etiological theory directs the therapist to the targets of change, whereas a theory of psychotherapy specifies how to bring about change in these target areas (H. Arkowitz, personal communication, March 10, 1986). Both theories represent a synthesis of the major extant perspectives of anxiety disorders and their treatment, including psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, experiential, and biomedical perspectives (Wolfe, 2005b). This particular perspective therefore represents an example of a theoretically driven integration of existing etiological and therapy models.

Abstract

Over the past 2 decades, I have developed an integrative perspective on the anxiety disorders. The term perspective in this context refers to two interrelated theories, an integrative etiological theory of anxiety disorders and an integrative psychotherapy for anxiety disorders. This division is based on the assumption that an etiological theory directs the therapist to the targets of change, whereas a theory of psychotherapy specifies how to bring about change in these target areas (H. Arkowitz, personal communication, March 10, 1986). Both theories represent a synthesis of the major extant perspectives of anxiety disorders and their treatment, including psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, experiential, and biomedical perspectives (Wolfe, 2005b). This particular perspective therefore represents an example of a theoretically driven integration of existing etiological and therapy models.
