Integrative therapy describes therapeutic practice that draws upon several established therapeutic modalities blending theory and practice into a personal description of how a particular therapist works. This book demonstrates the collective wisdom of a number of therapists, from different modalities, and practitioners in a number of countries world-wide. Summarised at length in all fourteen chapters of the proposed book by the editor of the original Open University Press series Core Concepts in Therapy, they provide a wealth of material from which therapists will be able to develop their own particular practice as an integrative therapist.
