Common Factors: Where the Soul of Counseling and Psychotherapy Resides
Ottens, Allen J.; Klein, James F.
Journal of Humanistic Counseling, Education and Development, v44 n1 p32 Spr 2005
The authors show how theoretical and empirical findings from the common factors and psychotherapy integration literatures possess potential for infusing soul into psychotherapy. They describe the term soul, outline how the definition translates into soul-nurturing psychotherapy, examine the common factors and integration literatures, and discuss how their recommendations can reorient psychotherapy toward a more soulful practice.
