The Intersystem Model of Psychotherapy: An Integrated Systems Treatment Approach
Weeks, Gerald R.; Cross, Chad L.
Guidance & Counselling, v19 n2 p57-64 Win 2004
This article introduces the intersystem model of psychotherapy and discusses its utility as a truly integrative and comprehensive approach. The foundation of this conceptually complex approach comes from dialectic metatheory; hence, its derivation requires an understanding of both foundational and integrational constructs. The article provides a historical perspective of integrative therapy and discusses the development and foundational constructs of the intersystem approach and the approach as a contextual meta-framework for therapy. The article concludes with a diagram and an idealized case study to illustrate the practical application of this approach in a clinical setting. (Contains 1 diagram.)
